I do not know where "Chief Dan" acquired the misinformation, but A/UX is real
and IS shipping now. The factory was actually making A/UX system in 1987 so
that they could be warehoused and ready for immediate shipment on the day
that John Sculley did the keynote at Uniforum. A/UX began shipping that very
same day. And I even personally know people who have bought it!

Sorry that you were misinformed, "Chief Dan".
