This is from an artical in the 4-13-92 business section of the
San Fransisco Cronicle, exerpted from a larger artical on high-tech
computer sales to the Soviet Union.
"Steve Sarich, president of Talus Corp., A Houston-based computer
distributor, came to Comtek as a visitor and walked away with a request
for a proposal from the office of Russian President Boris Yeltsin to
provide 2500 NeXT Computer Inc. workstations, an estremely sophisticated
machine."
Note. They forgot to capitolize X and T in NeXT. (Typical
Chronical). If this is true, then it probably means that there is at
least 1-2 people in Redwood City buisy making NeXTstep Cyrillic.
Also, if the sale goes through, would this boot the CIA out of
the "Biggest NeXT customer award"?

It is a tale, told by an idiot, .signifying nothing.
