The term "vaporware" wasn't invented for no reason. I was perusing back issues of magazines the other day and noticed this item on page 19 of last December's InCider: "Caveat Emptor: Don't EVER buy a product you can't see. You may be paying a lot for zip." That quote by the way is on the same pages as the report on Applefest '87. Maybe someone suspected something even then? --------------------- Disclaimer: My employer often is appalled by my opinions, and my facts may be only vaguely right <slippery when wet>.
