	There is indeed a Mindset computer, and it does indeed do "alot" of the
things the Amiga does... In fact, the Amiga designers most likely 'borrowed'
some of the ideas that the Mindset first pioneered.  (RJ Mical mentioned this
a while ago.) It was/is also a neat computer and is still around, although
Mindset the company is not...  In fact, Mindset used to be located just down
the road from HT Electronics, in Sunnyvale, on Maude Ave.  At least this was
the case until about 3-4 months ago, when a new company finally moved into the
building (I believe the company was 'Adobe', but it may be 'Focus'...) Anyway,
that was about 5 minutes away from me (assuming I catch all the greens :-) And
about 4 months ago (or less) I saw a Mindset computer on display (and for sale
at a GOOD price) at either Haltek (or Halted, I always mix them up), which is
an electronics store in SunnyVale, right off highway 101.  I could inquire
about it if you are interested.  (Just E-Mail me).

)I find this ALL VERY UNLIKELY!!! Can anyone tell me exactly just what the
)Mindset specs are.. what features it has etc... Is the company still making
)them.... I am extremely interested...... I think he is full of BULL!! :> :>

	It is indeed true, and I would suggest you get your friend to show you
the Mindset... You will be impressed, although the Amiga is seperior overall.
(Multitasking, etc. besides the fact that they are still being made...)
