In November BYTE, the feature called "According to Webster" has an interesting
reference to the 68000.  Bruce Webster writes:

	[Since Macintosh video reads other memory], the 68000 doesn't need to 
	*time-slice* while reading the RAM on the daughter board.

Italics mine.  Quoted from p401 col. 2 para. 1 November '85 BYTE

I believe he means "to insert wait states" not "to time-slice."  The phrase time-
slice has a meaning with respect to time division multiplexing not lengthened
memory accesses (to the best of my knowledge.  I could be wrong.)  What this 
industry doesn't need is for a technical bridge, like BYTE, to start inventing
a jargon to supplant the techie-eze we now all mouth.  Bruce, Bruce, Bruce.

I know Bruce reads the net, and if I had thought to get his address I would have
mailed this to him.  Bruce, any reply??
