Wow, that looks really tempting. However, being a UNIX chauvinist,
I want to know (are you listening Microsoft?):

       1. When will UNIX (XENIX, UniPlus, UNITY, or (dare I hope?) 4.2BSD)
                be available for the Mac?

       2. Which hapless software house gets to do the port?

       3. Floppies are cute, but... when can I put my 40Mbyte 5.25 inch
                winchester on this thing? (Or maybe a Maxtor 140Mbyte!)
                or some other reasonable capacity hard disk drive?

I tried to get something out of a friend, who is also an Apple employee,
but I guess I didn't twist his arm enough...
