About Consumer Reports and rating microcomputers:

	1:  There is evidence that alot of the testing that CU
	    claims to have done, is never done.

	2:  Their articles often have misleading pictures, such as
	    a picture of a "panel of experts".

	3:  The circulation manager for CU sincerely believes that
	    people read the magazine for entertainment, not information.


This information comes to me by word of mouth, so I am reluctant to
reveal the source.
