- First of all, could someone make a list of all of the new Macs
- that are going to be released and their features? Including
- X series, Z series, Persona Series, PowerBook series, etc.
-
- Second, is a 8-bit color PowerBook going to be available any time
- soon? And is the gray-scale PowerBook 8-bit?
-
- What I'm interested in doing is typing up papers not in my small,
- dark, quiet room but outside in the sun with squirrels running
- around and birds flying. I'm currently using a Mac Plus. So,
- I'm looking forward to using a FAST(er), color computer that
- is portable. Color is fairly important to me because
- color icons are cool!
-
- I'm also a programmer, so I need decent speed for compiling
- programs. I'm looking at the Quadra 950, but you can't take
- that out to the lawn and put it on your lap.
-
- Also, is the Quadra 950 still going to be the fastest Mac after
- the new Macs are released?
-
- One MINOR question: Are the Persona series going to have "Macintosh"
- labeled on the case front, or "Persona"? Or "Macintosh Persona"?
-
- Thanks.
