Over the years I've heard rumors of a totally new operating system
for the Macintosh that was supposedly being developed (in LS Pascal
if I'm not misstaken) by Todd Rundgren, the musician. I even recall
a mention of a ("pre-launch"?) party being held at Todd's house in
connection with MacWorld Exhibition in San Francisco in Jan.,1988.
Needless to say I've yet to lay my eyes upon any hard evidence of it
having been written in the first place, much less finished and/ or
shelved. If it ain't here then it must be somewhere else, right?
If someone on the net is "in the know" as to this particular
non-product's present or past status, features and whereabouts,
please enlighten.
