Subject: New CompuPro products

First reason for delay: COMDEX.
Second reason for delay: COMDEX.
Third reason for delay: Digital Research.
       The BIG PUSH in Hayward right now is to get the new PC
compatible video board running  (wth Flight Simulator, yet) and
with a iapx-286 CPU.  Hypersonic flight, yet...
       There is strong committment to Concurrent at CompuPro.
I do not know the reasons for the delay in the Disk 1A; I do not
have mine yet, so they do not have testable versions, at least
not to go outside; but as I said, almost all the talent, and
lite night oil, is going into getting ready for COMDEX and
having that video board on display.
       I usually discount these edge of technology
announcements by a couple months.  on the other hand, I don't
know nobody who's got further out stuff you can really get at
prices you can afford.  Uncle billy may be a bit slower than
he'd like to be, but it's still out at the edge...
