Summary: Apple guerilla plot?


So this so-called Amiga 3000 prototype machine was sporting a Mac
II monitor with Mac II-like fonts on a markedly different
workbench-like display.

Has the thought crossed anybody's mind that this was an
April-foolie and that the Amiga 3000 was really a wolf (Mac II) in
sheep's (Amiga's) clothing.

I've worked some on a Mac II, and it would be pretty easy to slip
the Mac II motherboard into the B2000 case.

Could this have been Apple sabotage to cause FUD (fear uncertainty
and doubt) in the Amiga community?
