If they don't follow the 88open standards . . . Apple hasn't even announced an 88k product and you're already pissing on them. If they decide to make an 88110 MacIntosh (and not just another Unix box with an Apple logo on it) a lot of the BCS/OCS specifications would be irrelevant. But, an 88110 MacIntosh would be a *VERY* nice machine. ----- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - ----- ----- jeff kenton: consulting at jkenton@pinocchio.encore.com ----- ----- until 11/30/90 -- always at (617) 894-4508 ----- ----- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -----
