I have heard from a reliable source that there will be a SmallTalk-80 implementation for the Apple "Lisa". There is however some question as to whether it will be fast enough. This aside from the problem of what Xerox will decide to do with SmallTalk as a whole (sell it, public domain, etc.).
This lends weight to arguments that the "Lisa" will have a fabulous graphic display. I believe it was mentioned here that it is supposed to cost about $10k. This is unfortunately becoming a "market price" for workstations, i.e. personal machine of reasonable power with graphics display.
Anyone want to expand on the "Macintosh" rumor, that there will be a stripped down Lisa built for home use (or at the least be cheaper)?
Sources have said that Apple Computer CEO Steve Jobs will deliver ten significant announcements today at 9:00 a.m. PST (Pacific Standard Time) when he will once again deliver the opening keynote address for Macworld Conference & Expo. This year, the keynote will not be webcast until a full nine hours later. It will be available for viewing at approximately 6:00 p.m. PST at http://www.apple.com.
