But has anybody heard anything about the Mac coming out in August? Heres what I would like to see: 33 Mhz 68030 , 68882 25 Mhz Nubus clock (does anyone know if TI's Nubus Chip set can run that fast?) 32 bit quickdraw. Also, I've heard that Apple is rewriting the system software in C, implying that the Mac could run off most any CPU platform. I've heard that Apple engineers REALLY like AMD's 29000 processor. I've no details whether they are planning to use it for a cpu platform, postscript engine, or a quickdraw accelerator. Anyone seen this future screamer?
