[net.micro.pc] Getting ready for a Peanut

peterr@utcsrgv.UUCP (Peter Rowley) (10/05/83)

Foreshadowing Dept.:
  Ziff-Davis, publisher of Stereo Review and (what WAS called) Popular
Electronics and, recently, PC, PC Tech Journal, and PC Disk, has just
announced "PC Home Computing" for users of "PC's, PC compatibles, and IBM
home computers" in the home.  I don't know when the first issue is scheduled to
come out, but I'd guess that it'll be the new year.  The magazine will cover
only those applications targetted at the home (you know-- budgets, writing
letters, saving recipes).

Rumours, updated, Dept.:
  The Peanut-is-coming rumours had IBM announcing it AND a new display card
for the PC this week.  Nothing yet, according to the local Product Centre.
