Where To?...........................................Bill Morgan

The word is that the new Mackintosh machine from Apple is going to be 68000-based and affordable.  I know that I am going to want one, and I would like to get a leg up on learning the machine, so I'm starting to study 68000.  It looks like a lot of fun.  With seventeen registers addressing 16 megabytes at 12 megaHertz or thereabouts, we should be able to do just about anything we want.  I'll have a review next month of a new 68000 trainer board for your Apple, at about half the price of the existing 68000 boards.

To get to the point, how many of you good folks out there are interested in 68000?  How many of you already know a little or a lot about it?  Should we start a new newsletter about Mackintosh?  Should we devote a few pages of this one to it?  Let us hear from you.

And another thing, how about C language?  Several of you have mentioned that great August issue of Byte and expressed an interest in learning more about C.  I know that I'm going to study up on it.  There is a good C compiler available for the Apple, the Aztec C Compiler System from Manx Software.  I'll have a review of it in the next month or two, and we may start carrying it for sale.  Let me know if you're interested.
