In a recent ad in the Wall Street Journal (March 19, 1990) a few sentences in Apple's ad for the IIfx caught my eye and generated a few questions. The ad says, "It is...the first personal computer to have two additional processors--with the power of two additional personal computers--to manage the flow of information inside. So that that screaming 68030 chip isn't slowed down by the more mundane tasks of computer housekeeping." Question: Exactly what type of processors are these and what are they doing? The ad also says, "...the new Apple 24-bit color card...gives you the ability to work with as many as 16.8 million colors..." Question: How many can it display at one time? Posted and/or e-mailed responses are OK. Adam Talcott talcott@nunki.usc.edu
