        Well, Lotus officially annouced JAZZ yesterday.  At $595,
the product is supposed to provide integrated word processing,
financial analysis (presumably a spreadsheet), database
management, communications and graphics in a single package. 

        According to an Associated Press article in today's
Boston Globe, JAZZ will be available in the first quarter of 1985
and require an external disk drive in addition to the 512K 'Fat
Mac'.  An industry analyst claims Lotus is hoping to get about
100,000 copies of JAZZ out in 1985.

        To Boston area readers: The Boston Computer Society is
having its Macintosh Users Group meeting tomorrow (Wednesday,
November 14th) at 7 pm at the Masschusetts College of Art,
Longwood and Huntington Avenues, Boston.  There will probably be
some more information about JAZZ there.
