[net.general] Formula International's "Pineapple" Kit

jimb@sri-unix (10/27/82)

I've  seen it advertized in recent BYTE's and other places.
Does anyone out there have any background on this computer?
Is it a bargain or a rip-off?  Any idea if the instructions
are something that would take an engineer to understand, or
could a normal person get it to work?

The rumors I've heard was that (1) it was an inexpensive
Apple look-alike (even the packaging), and (2) that Apple
was trying to sue them for something.

I'm making this inquiry for a friend.  Please reply to me
directly, and, if the response is large enough, I'll post
the results to net.followup.  Responses by ordinary telephone
will be just fine, too.

Thanks.
