	Just as an amusing aside, the last issue of Analog (an SF
magazine from Davis publications) has an article by Roberta Pournelle
in it on computers in education now and in the future.

	The drawing on the title page of the article (one of the science-
fact articles in this issue) has a suspiciously familiar computer gracing
it... yep, you guessed it, an Amiga 1000, right down to the door on the
1080 monitor!

	What an amazing (ha ha) sense of humor the editor (Stanley Schmidt)
has!
