	What John says is not quite accurate. Yes, we did contract to
buy Macs and Lisas from Apple at a substantial discount. We did not
hand out specs to anyone and only those very high up in the decision
making got to deal directly with the facts. I worked in the office
that handles the distribution of information and support for micro
computers at Kiewit and we knew very little of what was going on
save that it looked like it was going to be the Mac. We did *not*
get specs, hands on experience, or anything else of that nature.
So I tend to agree with the origional statement: Apple backed off
into secrecy. We still do not have specs or an actual machine ...
