Ed,

Although I will respond to your message to me in the order in which the topics
appeared in your note, I want to make several global points.

Never have I said anything untrue in our marketing "hype".

Second, I have always been a gentleman to you and to all the people that have
worked on the MM/1 project. All you have to do is ask any of them.

Third, I apologize if you think I slammed the PT technology at all. I >DO< have
a PT and it is pretty fast. It needs some driver work in a serious way, though.
A friend of mine runs OSK on his own PT and his hard drive just crashed. Now,
just because there are problems with some machines, does not mean that the PT
line is at fault, and I WAS NOT USING COMPUSERVE AS A FORUM TO SLAM YOUR
PRODUCT.

Period.

Now, I would like to respond to your note, and if I run on, I will do as you
did, and make the note from Paul Ward to Paul Ward, just to help you get the
stuff in bite-size chunks.

OK, you are right. I have not heard a thing about the system iv. I have a K2,
and it is an older design, as you know, probably with older drivers. (Of
course, please don't go slamming the MM/1 because it is new. After all, if I
cannot comment on your machine without having worked with it, you cannot do the
same.)

Also, I DO NOT think that 85% of the people do not think. You and I have talked
enough for you to know that I am a respectful person.

Especially of the customers. This is why IMS is doing what it is doing, and I
will GLADLY discuss on the phone with you why it is ultimately an act of
respect to our customers that 1) we are doing things with OSK that have never
been done before, in terms of ease of use and innovative applications in the
home and business, 2) we are offering a highly integrated and affordable
system, 3) that I have traveled to Texas and Silicon Valley to successfully get
companies to port stuff to the MM/1.

When I said CM8/Multisync, I meant CM-8 or Multisync.

That was a typgraphic problem, sorry if it was deceptive.

About reading 80 columns on a TV -- I would be glad to send you a whole stack
of articles on a hot new
