Well that may be. If I eat 'em, though, it will be with grace. I didn't mean
to imply that the author was stupid. What I said was that I believed he was
pulling my leg, 'cause I've read enough of his other posts to know
otherwise. Still, I think to be a bit misleading, it might be nice to
mention that this "68070" is not an MC68070. This is in effect an apology,
which is why I'm wasting bandwidth making it public. I will reserve my
doubts about the article, but I in know way intended to offer insult, only
my own skepticism. The price and the "68070" were the only two things I
meant to question. BTW: Isn't OS/9 actually OS/900 or something now? I seem
to remeber seeing an add for it in Byte...
