[net.rumor] forthcoming ATT announcement

tom@idis.UUCP (06/26/84)

	Look for a big ATT announcement tomorrow (Tuesday). Among the products
coming out is a very interesting looking LAN (Local area network) that we are 
getting here at U. of Pgh., and would-you-believe, an IBM PC compatible 
computer.
	What's the world coming to? Just when IBM starts offering UNIX, Bell
decides to offer MS-DOS. 

			remember, you heard it here first.
			(unless you're on the other side of the net.)

(Back, Demon!)

There are few things more maddening than having a new net.rumor entry
devoured by The Bug.  Can we get a repost out here?

( At the request of kissell@flairvax, I am reposting as this didn't get through 
everywhere. The following info came from some ATT folk who came to tell us about
our forthcoming LAN. We were not sworn to secrecy, as the announcement was due
to be made the next day (6/26). If that happened, I'd like to here about it. )
