What was announced at COMDEX was that formal launch was still coming soon, but  
that we are currently selling "seed/development" systems to Schools and 
developers who would understand that the software is still beta (but very 
solid).  The price, for schools & developers ONLY (with no announced SRP) is:

A3000UX/D: 9MB memory, 200MB hard drive, UNIX SVr4 (includes windows & open
look) Limited License, Ethernet card, 1950 monitor    $4995


>that the A3000UX will be debuted in an EDUCOM(sp) event (which Ethan told me
>is around next February).  

Correct spelling/incorrect timeframe EDUCOM WAS last month, and we showed 
UNIX extensively.

An official annoucement on the net???
