Dan,

Well, the best response here is no response. I WILL say that UniFlex is
interested and that we talk.

Kenneth-Leigh Enterprises and Interactive Media Systems have spent tens of
thousands of dollars already. We will spend half a million before the year is
out. That means that our choice of the operating system depends on two factors:
timing, and what our markets need. UniFlex is EXTREMELY UNIX-like, even more so
than OS-9. THis is sure to win over our education market, although OS9 could be
made to work nicely, too. Also, UniFlex is real-time, making it logical for the
data acquisition folks.

Of course, I want OS-9 on the MM/1, too. But timing and the market drive us.
We'll use a system that makes sense for the market, and work with the company
that makes sense to us.

BTW, you didn't mention that Minix may soon be available on the MM/1? Not that
>I< want to be starting rumors!
