Rumor?  A Mac Plus in the next office caught fire (i.e., was billowing
smoke, I didn't actually look inside) about two weeks ago.  I've also
read first-hand reports of burning Macs in comp.sys.mac and
net.micro.mac over the past five years.  I don't believe everything I
read here, but it looks like Macs *do* catch fire!

        One of the flaws in the anarchic bopper society was
        the ease with which such crazed rumors could spread.
