I had heard that the technology used to create the Pippen computer was 
based on Apple II technology (i.e. included the Mega II chip).  I didn't 
expect an Apple II site from Apple Computer (I don't really know what 
you're talking about there).  I also wasn't saying that Apple was 
releasing Pippen as an Apple II (just like people selling the Super 
Nintendo  don't claim it's an Apple IIgs, just because it has a 65c816 
chip).
