Hi Andy,

     I recently came off a NJ state sponsored program that helped schools
in the Hudson County area get in tune to a multi-cultural curriculem,
involving satellite TV; one of the programs was a program spotting Multi-
Media tools in the Classroom, which I had to help "pipe" down to each school.
About 10 months ago, when that program was being aired Live, it was being 
sponsored by Apple, hilighting the use of the Mac -also giving demos on that
same technology, the technician on the show said that it is being used now
but on a limited basis around Apple to test it and hoped it would come to a
consumer level around 1997 (but he said not to bet on that).

                           Thanks
                           Ned
