[net.micro.pc] Peanut Rumors at the PC Fair

HFISCHER@USC-ECLB@sri-unix.UUCP (08/28/83)

The only comment about the Peanut at the PC fair was by Don Estridge,
Pres entry sys div, who said something like he'd be ashamed to pull
into his driveway and have to tell his neighbor that his old software
would no longer run on a new IBM product.  IBM is committed to product
compatability.  Also noted that 2.5 million PCs have been produced.
His comment about computer widows was serious - IBM intends to sell
them a second computer for each home.

Asked about the LSLC Logo and the Peanut (or whether the DR Logo was
implying a switch to CP/M-86 there) I got a bunch or stares like "whom
are you kidding".
