Subject: Todd Rundgren's Macintosh OS
Summary: Once upon a time there was this dream of an "appliance
         computer".  These days the Macintosh OS is fast approaching
         the messy state of that other OS and it ain't getting better
         with the System 7.0. It's time to start looking for

    Over the years I've heard rumors of a totally new operating system
    for the Macintosh that was supposedly being developed (in LS Pascal
    if I'm not misstaken) by Todd Rundgren, the musician.  I even recall
    a mention of a ("pre-launch"?) party being held at Todd's house in
    connection with MacWorld Exhibition in San Francisco in Jan.,1988.
    Needless to say I've yet to lay my eyes upon any hard evidence of it
    having been written in the first place, much less finished and/ or
    shelved. If it ain't here then it must be somewhere else, right?
    
    If someone on the net is "in the know" as to this particular
    non-product's present or past status, features and whereabouts,
    please enlighten.
