Comments
The IIcx was a less expensive version of the Macintosh IIx. It had a smaller case
and fewer NuBus expansion slots.
|
(Macword, April 1989) Apple's senior vice
president of R&D and product marketing in 1989, Jean-Louis Gassée,
was in a unique position to influence the design of the Macintosh IIcx.
He chose to use it in his own office. |
