Keywords: I want one! Message-ID: <52839@apple.Apple.COM> Date: 14 May 91 00:35:40 GMT Organization: Apple Computer Inc., Cupertino, CA Lines: 27 Well, this is NOT official Apple, nor official Microsoft, but I got this from a fellow Apple employee attending the developer's conference. (Actually, I stole it from rec.aviation, where it was posted by a fellow Apple employee ;-) --------------------------------------------------- A new version of MicroSoft flight simulator is definitely coming for the Mac. Bill Gates demoed as part of a keynote address at Apple's World Wide Developers conference! He demoed flight simulator cooperating with Excel spreadsheet. A flight plan was stored in an Excel spreadsheet and then communicated through the edition manager to flight simulator. Pretty Hot! --------------------------------------------------- Finally. I'll be able to work on a quasi-real simulator again! Sorry, no word yet on availability or pricing. But I hope to find out more sometime this week! -rob. -- /---------------------------------------------------------------------------\ | R.
