For those lucky people who didn't try to participate in Sam Tramiel's real
time conference on Genie on 1/30/91: Genie kept crashing and logging people
off.  The question delivery mechanism broke.  It was a mess.  Sam took it
*relatively* well (as did about half of the rest of us).  Anyway, someone asked
how he felt at being the subject of so much attention that it broke a major
on-line service.  First he said that they should get better software.  Then
that they should get a better computer......like a TT.

For reference: I think Genie runs on a few connected Amdahls.

There was a little news, but nothing that would surprise regular readers of
c.s.a.st.
