That's humorous, for two reasons: A) Apple's "cash crop" is the Mac Classic
line (replacing the Apple //e, another irrelevant, obsolete cash cow which
managed to give Apple lots of money to develop the Mac line) B) The people who
are going to purchase the Mac are highly unlikely to be able to afford
28-MIPS machines. 

Personally, I'd love to get a QUARTER of the profits from irrelevant 8 MHz
68000 machines which are sold by Apple, Atari, and Commodore.
