     Well, _Time_ itself had a blurb on it a week or two after the war was over.  
It contains all the original correspondants' reports which were rewritten before 
they appeared in _Time_, along with a lot of pictures, too.  The _Time_ blurb 
showed it appearing on an Apple RGB monitor, so I presume it's a Mac product.

    This is the kind of odd product which recently-formed conglomerates produce 
to show stock analysists that there really _is_ some synergy in combining two 
unrelated companies.   As I've never seen it on sale (or even advertised) 
anywhere, I doubt this was put out as a commercial product.
