Ok, rumor time. My wife's accounting teacher referred to an IBM "peanut" computer which was supposed to be coming out sometime. Supposed price range is $600. Anybody have any confirmation or denial?? Pete LaMaster BTL NJ (201)949-0040

Confirmed rumor, or at least I read about it in Newsweek, in the Apple Lisa article. ...$600 seems a little cheap, though. HEY! What's all this about computers costing "00" or "00.00"? Can someone explain this code to me? Jim Heliotis

The IBM "peanut" was written about in the Wall Street Journal (Tuesday, Jan. 18 1983). Prices were supposed to be $600 to $750. This will include a single unit which is both the keyboard and the CPU, and it plugs into a standard color television. It will be sold to the "mass market" through outlets such as Sears, J.C. Penny, and K-mart. Info such as compatability with the standard P.C. and/or availability is not known at this time. If you need more info, get the article from the Wall Street Journal.
