	I hate to say this, but: you're wrong.

	The SE has 256K ROMs. Also, the SE and the II have a lot of new
managers in common, with the exception of handlers for the NuBus, Color
QuickDraw, and the MMU. The 68020 does not complicate matters all that much;
you just have to remember that the '020's exception stack frame is two
bytes smaller, and that the 68020 does have some tricky new addressing modes
(which most Mac HLL compilers currently don't use).

	You may have a point, but you should at least make a token
attempt to get your facts straight.
