[rescue] I hope this is not a Hoax

[Andrew Weiss]

heh I don't mean first rev sub-models... I mean major platform switch 
models... i.e.

68K --> 601 --> 603,604 -- > G3 -- > G4 --> G5

etc.

case in point I bought a 400 G3 B&W at top-of-the-line prices... 30 
days later my model was $1000 less and they bumped it only 50 Mhz.
