While digging in the garbage looking for blackmail material, I found this:
It seems, on 13 Aug 96  19:19:08, that Bill Cheek and All
were talking about WinRadio Coming!.
Now I have them!

YOU HAVE GOT TO BE KIDDING!!! YOU MADE THIS UP, RIGHT????????
Let me guess: 80 gazillion dollars plus tax. 
It sounds too good to be true. Usually a radio like that is either the size
of a desk or (if it's small) a piece of doodoo since you can't *GET* all that
into a small case without losing sensitivity and intermodproofness. What can
they put on an itty-bitty circuitboard? HOW'D THEY SHIELD IT FROM THE
RF INSIDE THE COMPUTER??!??!?!?
I'll be waiting for your report.
P.S. I betcha sections of 800Mhz are locked out...permanently......sigh.....
