- Just spoke to my local mac dealer...surprised that I could get as much
- neat info as I did...
-
-
- New Classic that will be relased (colour classic) is in a redesigned shell.
- No big news there...apparently though it is quite squat and in the
- words of the dealer 'Looks just like a little piggy...what with the feet
- and the way it looks...it just needs ears and a tail'.
-
- Quadra 800 apparently is essentially a Q950 shell cut in half. Apparently
- quite boxy...nicknamed 'frigidaire' during development.
-
- MacIIvi has been discontinued. After 3 months!
-
- Centris machines are apparently positioned just below the Q700 (or where
- it *used* to be).
-
- Re: PB165c. Apparently is all ready for full production...'cept....
- battery life...1.5 to 2 hours. period. Requires a new adaptor
- for it since the older ones of previous PBs doesn't provide enough
- juice to drive the colour matrix display.
-
- That's 'bout it.
