The most recent (April) MacWorld had a couple of glaring inaccuracies:  The
bit noted earlier on this newsgroup about RedRyder 10.0 which doesn't yet 
exist; and the incorrect resolution data and picture captions for the Mac II.
(The incorrect picture captions are on page 132. On page 153, the text and 
captions all give total pixel/screen data labelled as pixels/ per inch: I don't
believe SuperMac's new color monitor is 1024 by 768 dots PER INCH).

So, the question is: Is this just the first case that has hit me in the face, or
is the publication always this inaccurate?   The latter error seems to 
indicate editors who are completly unfamilier with computer technology in 
general.
