Tis true that shipping and service slipped noticeably during the
past few months because SMS was going down the tubes, I believe
SuperMac will do just fine once it is back in control.  The 
re-organization is now in progress and should not take long.  I
think things will work out because they have solid name recognition,
solid products and service, and a solid management team.  It is
a notable sign that so many VC types wanted in on the new SuperMac
that they had to turn away more than 8 megabucks of financing.
The hard to believe part is that SMS would want to sell it in order
to save its IBM and DEC divisions!

Disclaimer: Aside from being of long acquaintance with some principals,
            I have no relationship with SuperMac except as a customer.
