That's Bill Mensch. But anyway, don't anyone go looking for any 65832's, 16Mhz
or otherwise. As far as I know, they don't exist and are a favorite myth of

has seen one or can send on to me, let me know!

"Drop the old Apple II line and start cranking out those Macintoshes!!!!!"
Remember whose purposes you are serving! However, your point is well taken.
