#N:uiuccsb:4400013:000:451 uiuccsb!leimkuhl Sep 26 14:06:00 1983 Has anyone in net-land heard anything new about Peanut? Last I heard the target date is mid-october but the WSJ seems skeptical that IBM will meet that deadline. Also in the WSJ, some rumors had the Peanut with 64K and no printer for about $700--that doesn't sound like a very innovative product for all the pre-production hype it has been getting. Perhaps IBM plans to sell the Peanut on name alone. -Ben Leimkuhler (uiucdcs!uiuccsb!leimkuhl)
