well folks, the response i got so far was *not* what i expected. * PFUI! (as Nero Wolfe would say) It is fascinating to read what other * people surmise about our products. (The 7300 is the 3B1!) What is * the "other" product you have heard of? * Chris Edmonds @ AT&T Something-or-Other, Naperville, IL ...!ihnp4!ihlpl!chrise nd . . . * I do not expect any new personal computers or workstations from AT&T *in the rest of this calendar year, and perhaps longer. I have more concrete *information than this, but I am bound by a non-disclosure agreement. AT&T *seems to be hoping that the 6300 family and the 3B family will be enough for *a while. Meanwhile several new machines are being explored. None are certain *that they will become products (this includes in-house and other developement). * well, folks, chris seems to think that the 3b1 and the 7300 are the same, but if they are, why the proce diffrence?( you may also ask, why the diffrent names, but i understand att already markets identical things under the AT&T logo and the TELETYPE logo, with diffrent names. before anyone screams, i refer to terminals, the 56X0, i believe.) but allow me to quote a quoteable source for all of you to ponder: [reprinted from UNIX REVIEW, without permission, pg 20, col 3] Meanwhile, Counterpoint Computers . . . announced on March 10 its System 19 line of UNIX workstations. [...] - Counterpoint products will be sold to OEMs, VARs, and very large end users. One of the companies with which Counterpoint is doing business is AT&T, one of Counterpoints minority investors. AT&T will market the startup's products [the following is not *my* comment, it is from the magazine] (yes, Virginia, AT&T is in the UNIX workstation market). . . there ya go folks. more fuel for the home fires. Chris, here is another product i have heard of, did you know about it before now? and if you did, did you read it in the same place i did? stev -- stev@seismo.CSS.GOV stev@seismo.UUCP Graduate of the Han Solo School of Action Without Thought.
