Comment 1:  It seems to follow the lines of Jobs' announced intent to provide
	a workstation for academia (UNIX, bit-mapped, medium cost).  Maybe
	it's a leftover rumor from Jobs.

Comment 2:  The original OS on the LISA was a micro version of UNIX (XENIX?).
	So the concept is not completely wacko.

Comment 3:  The UNIX Mac would fit in with the 20MB hard disk with file
	hierarchy.  You would need 10MB to support UNIX reasonably.

So it's possible that the rumor is true.  But I wouldn't keep my hopes up.
