A few weeks ago Apple bought software technology from a certain
Lowell based Qbus/SuperMicro/Unix-SysV (need any more help) Computer Company
for the tidy sum of $4.5 million.  Shortly thereafter the company was
liquidated.  What was acquired?  About 15 man-years of software
that implemented the MAC user interface on a UNIX machine with a bitmap
display.  This same software had been made available
to a certain Rhode Island based University that is involved with MACs.
