If everyone takes that attitude, the rumors of SuperMac's demise will very soon prove to be self-fulfilling prophecy. I have nothing to do with SuperMac (either for or against), but I know that lack of cash flow is sure doom for any small company. I would say that if you think they have a good product that you need now, buy it. If you don't want to take the risk of dealing with a company that might not be around in five years, go buy from IBM. -- tom lane Internet: tgl@zog.cs.cmu.edu UUCP: <your favorite internet/arpanet gateway>!zog.cs.cmu.edu!tgl BITNET: tgl%zog.cs.cmu.edu@cmuccvma
