Apologies if this info has already been posted, but I won't have
time to catch up to all of net.micro this eve.  To recap, there
were queries about the "S1" system, which was reputedly a super-OS
that would do amazing things.  ("Everything, all the time"??)

We get several UNIX newsletters here, and one of them had an
article about the S1 system a few months ago.  To make a long
story short, they went to the shop for a demo, and didn't see
any hardware that looked like it could run what they said,
much less running software.

The newsletter clearly did not want to say "S1 does not exist"
since it *could* have been much confusion on the part of the S1
folk about what was required for the demo.  It came across very
skeptical that S1 was more than hype, though.
