The following tidbit appeared in the March/April 1980 Apple Orchard.
(Mind you it doesn`t quite apply now)


             THE APPLE RUMOR MILL
           COURTESY OF PAUL KNEVELS

         FROM The Michigam Apple-Gram

   It has been rumored that APPLE is working on an APPLE III
computer to be released shortly.  At present the only advance in-
formation available is that a new microprocessor will be incor-
porated into the unit - the 6503.

   Our research staff has been able to uncover a list of new op-
codes that distinguish the 6503 as a breakthrough in computer
technology.

   The listis presented here for you information (and enjoyment).

AGB   ADD GARBAGE
BBL   BRANCH ON BURNED OUT LIGHT
BAH   BRANCH AND HANG
BLI   BRANCH AND LOOP INFINITE
BPB   BRANCH ON PROGRAM BUG
BPO   BRANCH IF POWER OFF
CPB   CREATE PROGRAM BUG
CRN   CONVERT TO ROMAN NUMERALS
DAO   DIVIDE AND OVERFLOW
ERS   ERASE READ-ONLY STORAGE
HCF   HALT AND CATCH FIRE
IAD   ILLOGICAL AND
IOR   ILLOGICAL OR
MDB   MOVE AND DROP BITS
MWK   MULTIPLY WORK
PAS   PRINT AND SMEAR
RBT   READ AND BREAK TAPE
RPM   READ PROGRAMMER'S MIND
RRT   RECORD AND RIP TAPE
RSD   READ AND SCRAMBLE DATA
RWD   REWIND DISK
SRZ   SUBTRACT AND RESET TO ZERO
SSD   SEEK AND SCRATCH DISK
TPR   TEAR PAPER
WED   WRITE AND ERASE DATA
WID   WRITE INVALID DATA
XIO   EXECUTE INVALID OP CODE
XOR   EXECUTE OPERATOR
XPR   EXECUTE PROGRAMMER

P.S. There is no word from APPLE as to when we might ex-
pect these improvements.
