[comp.sys.mac] Idiotic Rumors

gillies@uiucdcsp.cs.uiuc.edu (02/08/88)

This month's MacUser contains the most idiotic paragraph in the rumor
column.  They state "Apple is working on a 68030 machine, which (so
far) will include the 68881 FPU and 68851 MMU as standard equipment.
The suprise is that the machine will have 4 slots and cost *less* than
a Mac II!"

The MacUser column is the most brain-damaged rumor column in the
industry.  They ALWAYS make up their rumors.  What's more, they're too
stupid to invent plausible rumors!  Why would Apple put a 68851 PMMU
in a 68030 macintosh, when the 68030 chip already has memory-mangement
on-chip?  Come on guys!

If you call MacUser, you will find out that they invent the rumors once a month
over margaritas. I swear that they said that.
