In the May, 1985 issue of Computing Reviews is a review by A. D. Booth of
the special issue on computer software of Scientific American (Sept. 1984).
In general, it is an extremely favorable review, but not particularly
relevant to readers of this newsgroup, except for the following short
paragraph, which I quote:

	"It is impossible not to mention the fact that the center pages of the
	journal are filled with a quantity of glossy advertising for the Apple
	Macintosh.  In the light of this, the reviewer feels compelled to
	remark that the BASIC available on this 16-bit machine runs about four
	times as slowly as that available on most cheap 8-bit machines.  In
	addition to this, an hour of experiment ith the Mouse produced the same
	sense of loathing as one feels for the domestic pest of the same
	name!"
