From: Billy <BRACKENRIDGE@USC-ISIB> IBM is scheduled to make a major announcement on Tuesday Oct. 18. The USC IBM salesman isn't sure that it will be PC related, but suspects so. This source was very reliable about telling us when the XT was to arrive. Info World reports IBM hasn't reserved extra Christmas advertising space so we doubt this will be a home computer. I believe the announcement will detail long term support of Unix by IBM starting with Unix for the PC and continuing through to main frames.
