The company that was advertising this product was INFOSPHERE
from Portland OR.
I have it from some pretty good sources that this is vapourware
and does not yet exist.
Yes they are the same people that gave us Macserve, and it seems
that they did a little advance advertising.

I may be wrong about it being vapourware, but I dont think so.

Any sufficiently advanced technology
is indistinguishable from MAGIC
