While it's good to know that Apple computers in the 21st Century may feature
motion picture theater quality graphics, the Japanese generally are conceded
to have an ENORMOUS lead over U.S. firms in HDTV development (enoough to
seriously worry even the Defense Department).  Becoming "involved" (late to
the game) and a quarter will get you a cup of coffee (it's all vaporware
until we can actually buy one).

Apple's "involved" in developing a new IIgs too (isn't it ;-)
