	I seem to recall that, if they have bought out that machine, it 
would directly challenge the Macintosh in the Education market. They just 
do not wish, I believe, IMHO, to support TWO platforms.

	Of course, I would have gone for a new GS then migrating to a Mac 
if it happened, as I do not have to change most of my software to run on 
the Mac. Of course, now with Bernie ][ the Rescue Warp 4, I can retire my 
GS to the box and shelf, until I need it again.
