The following is reprinted without permission from the December 1987 issue
of ``Los Angeles Computer Currents,'' page 39:

``Apple is developing an upgraded Macintosh II based on Motorola's
top-of-the-line 80386 microprocessor.  When it will be revealed is still
unknown, but, in the meantime, several third-party developers will release
80386 upgrade boards for the II, Plus and SE.  T.S.I. of Eugene, Ore. plans
one by the second quarter of 1988.  The company's president says the
board will make the II 'four times faster.'' Also developing 80386 upgrades
are MacPeak of Austin, Texas, SuperMac Technologies and AST Research.
Unfortunately, the boards won't come cheap--$6000 is the quoted price.''
   -Wendy Woods, Newsbytes

This is a wonderful example of the truly miraculous American Press.
Personally, if I were Apple, Intel, or Motorola, I would be quite offended
by this.  Wouldn't you?  But it is one of the funniest things I've ever
read..
