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.) tom neuendorffer decvax!idis!tom UNIX,MS-DOS,and IBM PC are registered trademarks of ATT,MICROSOFT, and IBM; you figure it out.

< bug food (gnash-gnash) > ( 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. ) Look for a big ATT announcement soon.
