	This is no longer the case.  Ten Nelson held a press conference at
the 13th annual West Coast Computer Faire:  80% of Xanadu Operating Company
has been picked up by AutoDesk, makers of AutoCAD.

	They're going to hire seven new programmers, and start serious work
on the Xanadu back-end.

	From my perspective, this works great, since Ten Nelson has moved into
a houseboat in Sausalito, which is a 45 minute bike ride away from me.
