Alright, enough of this shift nonsense...  Let's see, I suppose that I
should try to start something new...  How's this: does anyone know the
why IBM could not release the news of their 801 project until just 
recently?  I understand it has something to do with lawsuits and Reagan.

Or, better yet, has anyone yet seen one of the Fairchild CLIPPER machines?
From the marketing cruft I got from Fairchild, it would appear that they
have done just about everything right.
