[net.micro.cbm] New product: Good news and bad...

Good news and bad news:

Good news:

	The June BYTE has a product announcement for the Commodore 900,
a Z8000-based 'personal workstation' running under Coherent, a fairly
well-known Unix clone, and costing in the $3000. range with a 20Mb 
hard disk.  Introduction is to be in Europe this summer.

Bad news:

	Contacting Commodore, they say there are no plans to market it
in the U.S. at this time.

Seems to me they're missing an opportunity.  Anyone heard anything else?
Please respond by mail.  Thanks.
