didn't think of it before, but instead of "Microcomputer" it should

Even that deinition is questionable when applications are stored on a

Microcomputer
A "microcomputer" is defined as a computer having no more than two
microprocessors used for general purpose processing within the computer.
For the purposes of this class, a "microprocessor" is defined as a central
processing unit comprised of not more than 4 individual LSI intgerated
circuit on a single board, with the entire ALU being contained within a
single integrated circuit.
Will this definition change when Apple starts selling 4 processor G5
towers? Or will those (and 4 processor Pentium workstations), not apply
because they are far too new?
