But this one is hard to believe. A couple of weeks ago someone noted that Tandy was looking for Macintosh programmers. I poked around and discovered that Tandy is going to do something with The Appletalk network. This sounds like a smooth thing to do. After all PC's connect to the appletalk network. Bare in mind that I got this from a friend so the info might be wrong, such is the life of a rumor. But it sounds better than cloning the mac. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Disclaimer: I'm just a poor student getting through school. Bruce Hoof.
