Just to make things more confusing for you uucp buffs, the easiest way
to contact "THINK" is *not* to send e-mail to think!whoever or
whoever@think.com, because we're Thinking Machines Corporation.  We
don't make any Mac-related products, we just use them.  (Rich: what
machine is THINK on, if any?)

For that matter, there's also a Florida company called "Lightspeed
Electronics" which packages Mac systems.  I have no idea what claims
they have on the name Lightspeed.

     On two occasions I have been asked, "Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put
     into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?"
