 The problem with this is that the lead times on magazine publishing
 is so great that by the time they come out, the rumors have either
 been disproven or become old news.  The BEST place I've seen to pick
 up on stuff is in MacWeek...

 For example, I am very interested in the fast cpu Mac IIcx. Variously,
 I've heard this called the IIcxe or the IIce.  At any rate, if the
 68030 in it really runs at 25 or 33 Mhz, does this imply that it will
 have 80 ns memory?  Or will it just do a bunch of cacheing?  If it 
 requires memory that fast, it will probably be out of our budget
 bounds...
