- Fair enough. An important issue here, though, is whether Apple is going to
- continue offering software support for it in league with the other machines.
- With the death of the PB100, that's the last of the 68000 machines gone.
- It's twice the speed (with twice the RAM) of the Plus/SE/Classic, which
- gives it enough elbow room for a couple of years I reckon, which is why I've
- ordered one. After that time, we'll all be after laptop PowerPC's anyway.
