     Both an FM broadcast receiver and a television broadcast receiver
are available as boards for the Mac II.  I think it silly.  I did see
the "Micro TV" board in action at Computerware today.  It's supported
as a desk accessory, and you can watch TV with a 2x2 window devoted
to the TV screen.  Supposedly you can do this while doing other things,
but our attempt to watch TV while running Model Shop crashed the machine
immediately.

     Incidentally, the on-screen TV image is monochrome, even on color
displays.
