Oh would that that statement were true.  The PC Jr. is showing up on the
shelves yet again.  I noticed some adds in some of the computer stores, they
start in big bold letters "The news of my demise is somewhat exagurated".
There have been several callers on my board reciently with new PC Jr.s. Looks
like big blue is going to keep pushing 'em till they get rid of the 750K units
they've got stockpiled.
