[my offering to the gnomes of superstition]

AT&T announced 6 microcomputers today, aimed at small businesses.  I only have
the scanty info from PBS' nightly business report:  all or most are based on 
the 3B20 and one looks a lot like a BLIT/5620 (w. Swiss (Depraz) mouse).  Any
info from AT&T'ers would be appreciated.  Asked about personal computers, they
said "stay tuned".

In reaction to the announcement, IBM and DEC stock rose but Tandem dropped,
according to PBS.
