For all of those who get that free mag "InfoWorld", look at the front cover. In the April 8th edition, AT&T announces the Safari computer. It's a laptop with a 20mhz 386SX chip, the second generation will have built in support for packet radio. Tis a shame they had to re-use our moniker, especially with a 386 chip! :-( Maybe we should make a newsgroup for it - comp.sys.3b1.wannabe j -- Jeffrey L.

The AT&T 6300PLUS, also Intel-based, was known internally as Safari-5. And it only had a 286 chip, but it ran UNIX SysVr2 and MS-DOS at the same time. How many times have we seen an AT&T computer product that was truly ahead of its time, and distinguished from its competitors? -- Dave Levenson Internet: dave@westmark.com Westmark, Inc.
