I saw the Torch machine at UniForum last week.  It is a really neat
machine.  I spent as much time at their booth as I did the Sun booth.
If they can actually produce the machines at the $5000 retail price
it is going to be a real winner (particularly if we put our SVR2 Unix
with NFS on it :-).  The only negative things are the small screen
(Mac size), the keyboard has a slightly braindamaged layout (at least
in my option), and it uses a 68451 (needs wait states, but at least
it has an MMU).

All in all, a very interesting machine!!!  I want one so I can retire
my aging, orphaned Callan box.
