Here YA ARE Nathan, report this for me!

I have it from a very accurate and reputable source some rather detailed 
information about the 'New Apple II'.  

Tiger Electronics, usually considered to be simply a toy mfg. has 
licenced from Apple the Apple IIe technology.  They are producing a 
notebook sized device computer.  The system has no floppy disk drive or 
hard drive.  ROM cartridges and RAM cartriges only will be used.  The 
RAM for temp. storage of up to 2MB and the ROM for a multitude of A2 
Ed-wares from such well known A2 ed-software companies as; MECC 
Scholastic, Optimum etc.

They are even looking into a lic. agreement with Quality Computers and 
online services for the provision of Internet connections.  It will 
retail for under $200 (US).  Should be out here in the US (in a limited 
market by Nov. of this year.  There looking for game developers too!  
Wanna give em a try.  I hear you're looking for a good job.

Much more to follow later...gotta go now!  BTW - got this little info. 
direct from; Tiger Electronics, Inc., 980 Woodlands Pkwy, Vernon Hills, 
Il. 60061 and also confirmation from Steve Wozniak!

Cheers!
