Tony,

Looks like you sent the message to the wrong guy. You can direct all the New
Computer messages to me.

The MM/1 will be available late summer -- I mean, we will actually be shipping
in quantitiy.

The list of features you received is a wish list, but it is also a list of the
features that the computer actually has!

I have one MM/1 here on my desk, another one in the living room, and there are
others sprinkled around the US.

We have some small design changes to make, some production costs to deal with,
and software licenses to finish up. Then we can announce an official "street
price".

BTW, we have folks here in Washington who want to put the MM/1 in a hightech
showcase full of advanced multimedia computers.

Chances are slime they'll want the TC-9 for anything at all, even if they COULD
get their hands on one, which they can't.

Paul

PS. I don't mean to sound down on the TC-9. THe MM/1 is just plain better and
is the only choice that will keep our community together for the next five
years or more.

You should make a list of what you want to get on the TC-9, then ask FHL how
much they'll charge you.
