I recent article in a Bay Area freebie computer tabloid (Computer
Currents?) hints at why Tandy was looking for macintosh programmers:
Deskmate software. Tandy business strategy is to differentiate itself
from the rest of the PC clone makers. Tandy is trying to do its own
windowing software, possibly as an alternative to OS/2.
Therefore, I can understand why they want macintosh programmers --
people who know something about window-system programming. They want
to make deskmate as sophisticated as the Macintosh OS.
