I think it's a Macintosh with the above and has Apple II built in abilities :)
- priced at about $899 US base estimated retail price.   Should be in stores
around mid-September, or so I hear.  Prototype looks sort of like the iMac.  It
is rumored to only support 3.5" - 1.4 MB and 800k disks with a single internal
USB disk drive.  Seems the internal HD comes installed with all of Apple's
Apple II and IIgs software titles including AppleWorks and AppleWorks GS.

I guess we shall all just have to wait and see.
