- It's released.

- Suggested retail is $499, and includes a copy of

- Works pretty good, but not as an accelerator. The Rocket works as another
- macintosh that you can delegate background tasks to. (Printing,
- compiling, etc.)
- That is, you have TWO macintohes.
-
- RocketWARE 2.0 will allow you to use your Rocket 33 as an accelerator
- (that is,
- you have ONE FAST macintosh), its in beta test right now.
