	Comon, what MAJOR Apple II peripheral maker is a Texas company??

	APPLIED ENGINEERING! Some of the original press releases said
that they had signed a two year contract with a (paraphrased) "Texas 
company that produces Apple II peripherals".

	Now if that doesn't describe Applied Engineering, I don't know what 
does! I -do- know that they mentioned Texas company and Apple II peripherals
together!
