[net.invest] Computer Stocks

rg (11/17/82)

Does anyone know something about a company called
Interactive Systems?  There stock is trading on the
OTC market and I have been advised to buy some of it.
They are a computer graphics company which primarily
deals in cartography.  Please mail you replies and I
will summarize on the net.

As long as we're all busy speculating (and we are -- International Harvester?
Don't invest anything you can't afford to lose!) does anyone out there know
if the following have gone public yet:

     Auragen
     Stratus
     Synapse

All of them are making high-reliability systems (68000 based, multiple
cpus running in parallel with logic to make sure they're getting the
same answer) and since Tandem has done so well, there's clearly quite
a market here.  These also have the advantage that the failure recovery
is in the OS, rather than making you do it yourself, as the early Tandem
systems did.  (More recent Tandem systems have some support, but I have
not heard users praising it to the skies.)
