given where the 68030 is right now, I think MacUser totally was outside their
expertise to "blabber" about this;  I actually suspected it was a typo and
that they meant the 68030.  Personally, I don't want to hear about any 68xxx
for a while.  I'll be curious when the time comes that I can get my hands on
samples.
