The most recent (April) MacWorld had a couple of glaring inaccuracies: The bit noted earlier on this newsgroup about RedRyder 10.0 which doesn't yet exist; and the incorrect resolution data and picture captions for the Mac II. (The incorrect picture captions are on page 132. On page 153, the text and captions all give total pixel/screen data labelled as pixels/ per inch: I don't believe SuperMac's new color monitor is 1024 by 768 dots PER INCH). So, the question is: Is this just the first case that has hit me in the face, or is the publication always this inaccurate? The latter error seems to indicate editors who are completly unfamilier with computer technology in general. -- Dan Graifer graifer@net1.UCSD.EDU Disclaimer: Nobody ever listens to me anyways; Why should they start now?

They show a picture of the Apple Macintosh II graphic controller card and claim it is the Macintosh II motherboard! They even go as far as pointing out that "the large square chip is the 68020", when it is in fact the Apple custom graphics7 P7 P7
