While I agree as far as it shouldn't become a habit to regulary
advertise merchandise for the later Mac models such as the PowerMacs and
G3's and iMacs and so forth, I don't think it hurts to post this notice
of early Mac literature here, especially since it's contemporary with a
lot of the machines this group uses.  There are general Apple
enthusiasts who are not only interested in Apple II's, but also in the
next phases of Apple development as well - the Lisas and early Mac I's
and II's.  To me it's a fuzzy line.  Yes, it's Mac stuff, but these
items are definitely aimed for the Apple collector - and there are
certainly more than a few of those in this group, some of whom also
cross over to the Mac side.  And on several occasions I've seen Lisa and
Lisa parts advertised in the Apple 2 marketplace section, and to me,
Lisas are 'proto-Macs'.  But I do think that this should have been
posted there instead of here.
