Excellent suggestion about LOGO! Mark Sheffield, are you listening?

Actually, we are pursuing getting ourselves on the purchasing schedules of
several school systems, so we will be getting clear and accurate guidelines to
follow.

BTW, I think that the recession and the rise of interest in UNIX and multimedia
will put the MM/1 in good stead.

Remember, too, that the Macs primary selling point is a user interface that
make s the computer "generic". That is, if you put a similar interface on a
different computer, then it ceases to be relevant that the computer is a Mac,
or an IBM, or a UNIX workstation.

And with the user interface we are developing (slowly now, quicker after the
MM/1 starts shipping), we'll do just fine against the cheap Mac.

After all, you can network ours cheaper, make it multiuser, do color
multimedia, and so on. Plus, we have twice the clock rate!

Not to mention that it seems like UNIX underneath, and if UNIX does as well as
I think it will in the next three years, OS-9 will get a great kick!

Paul
