    This proposition would benefit Apple in a few ways...
	*   By the volume of news about the Mac on the net, one could assume
	    that a large number (majority?) of Mac users/programmers
	    will be enlightened by their hypothetical broadcasts. As a result..
	*   The demands made upon Apple for this type of information by
	    customers would be reduced.  As a result...
	*   Overheads in producing (publishing) these reports would be reduced.
	    As a result...
	*   More free time/resources to invent a new computer.  As a result...
	*   More sales...aar...
	*   More queries about the new machine...aar...
	*   Isn't life wunnerful?

	*   Seriously, though, it will enable Apple to get this type of info
	    to those who need it quicker and cheaper than they are at the
	    moment.  Who knows what results this implies...
    
    The benfits to "us" are obvious...
