We just got a call from the AT&T rep.  The new AT&T Personal Computer is
going to be -- you guessed it -- an IBM PC-clonealike !!  It's an 8086-
based machine manufactured by Olivetti, no less.  Price to be set below
that of an IBM-PC/XT (wheee...).

Sigh.  So much for the dream of a single-user 3B machine.  In it's place
we get a 3 year old piece of junk that was obsolete 3 years ago.  Another
winning market-place move brought to you by the MBA's at AT&T.

Just thought I'd let you in on the good news.  Excuse me, please.  I think
I'm going to go find a nice quiet corner and wretch for a while...  Ugh.
