Oh, I forgot some of the miscellaneous Apple news.  Apple is suing a 
memory-upgrade company which was replacing Apple ROMs with slightly 
modified copies so that the system would recognize the full memory size
at startup.  Better stick to the companies that use external kluges to
fool the ROMs.  (In the Boston area, try MassTech Development Labs or
New England Labs.  MassTech is producing a "clip-on" memory upgrade so
that your original board is unmodified.  New England Labs is more 
conventional, might be slightly cheaper.)

Also, there's a box titled "Steven Jobs To Second-Source Mac?"  Rumor has
it that Apple might license enough technology for former insiders Jobs and
Mike Murray (former Mac Marketing manager) to produce their own Mac clones.
Apparently the idea is to increase market acceptance by increasing the 
choice in Mac-compatible machines.
