-Ah, yes.  Precisely!  It's "simply not available".  They aren't shipping,
-and even when they do, it'll only be for educational institutions.  We
-don't need a newsgroup to discuss vaporware.

Yes, but there are quite a number of students that read the net, and will
quite possibly be buying the machines.

In addition the use of Mach and the various Gnu products will ensure a 
high level of interest from people who don't have the machines, but want
to know about how it's working.

Besides, if we don't need a newsgroup to discuss vaporware, what do we
have comp.{deleted-to-save-my-posting-privileges} for?
