Dear Net.viewers,
  It may interest you all to know about the pot calling the kettle. It seems
lately that our customers are telling us that someone at National is
spreading the rumor that the MC68020 is actually an NMOS, and *NOT* a CHMOS
machine.  (We won't go into a discussion on how much power 200,000 NMOS
transistors would take versus the .5 watts consumption of the MC68020.)

Also, the same felon has had the nerve to personally post this weak excuse
of a rumor to me.

I'll give ya one guess who it is, and the first one doesn't count!

(We'll just chalk Jonathan's comments up to "normal competitive give and take"
eh, Richard?)
