Sorry to belabor the somewhat off-topic point, but I'm not clear on what
you're saying here.  Were there EVER Macintosh computers that were build
using the Intel 80x86 architecture?  To my knowledge, Macs started with
the Motorola 68000 line of processors.

(Or maybe the x86 is shorthand for '86 which is shorthand for 1986 ...)
