We have about 30 Macs on 3 AppleTalk networks connected together using
Kinetics boxes+Ethernet.  User acceptance of the user interface has been
100% -- including a lot of non-programmer types.  We have had some
hangups and crashes, associated with the network aspect only.  CE has
been very responsive, and we now have version 1.03; we expect version 1.04
in a week or so.  This is a GREAT product, and the local Mac stores are
selling it for $165 to the University community.

Our greatest need now is for the bridge to Unix mail.  We have been told
that StarNine, a local Berkeley firm, is hard at work on it.
