   ... and I suppose this "dream to end all dreams" vision of yours
[really wants to prick Apple] uses an 80486. None of this slow RISC
nonsense. The '486 would be perfect first-pass silicon packaged in a 
208-pin ceramic PGA (MIL-STD-1546, class "S":-) costing $21 in 10's
quantity. It just so happens to have a 68040 emulation mode bit
tucked away in the status register (Dhrystones 2x Moto part!). Don't
forget the segment reg's. Blah blah blah.
   Then again, I could be wrong, this might really be April.
