BYTE also doesnt answer letters.. i simply can't understand why, for instance, says "hey, developers ! send us a copy of your software and we'll put it on a list that we'll send to all apple dealers (after some looking at the prgms to avoid vaporware...)". not too bad an idea, eh ?! and it wouldn't even cost apple much in the days of applelink etcetc...sigh... btw: i still want to get smalltalk (at any cost!) since it does (really !) multitasking on apples (dont tell me its slow, transwarp has it...}. so if anyone knows/has/whatever about it PLEASE let me know. ah yes, i'll buy a 386 clone with unix. who will ever buy this rediculous would-be unix for the mac ?! in my opinion sun would win it all if they made a mac emulator for their machines. you could then have smalltalk, unix and macs (plural!) on one screen. -- Heiko Blume # DOMAIN: blume@netmbx.UUCP { BITNET: ( mixed } Seekorso 29 # BANG : ..!{backbone}!netmbx!blume D-1000 Berlin 22, West-Germany # Phone : (+49 30) 365 55 71 or ... 365 75 01 Telex : 183008 intro d # Fax : (+49 30) 882 50 65
