To:  New APOLLO Subscribers


Hello,

Welcome to the APOLLO mailing list.  APOLLO discusses personal
work station computers, such as the APOLLO work station computer,
the Three Rivers Corporation PERC, or the recently announced
Xerox STAR.  APOLLO provides a way for interested members of the
ARPAnet community to discuss what is wrong with these machines,
compare notes on work in progress, and share useful insights
about these kinds of systems.  The list is managed by Hank
Dreifus <Dreifus at WHARTON>.

APOLLO is currently discussing initial reactions to the Xerox
Star Workstation.  Sandor Schoichet <SROSS at MIT-XX> has been
conducting an informal survey about the Star.  The current
results are available in the file DUFFEY;APOLLO STARMS on MIT-AI
and the file <SROSS>STAR.MSS on MIT-XX.  Please note that you do
not need to login to FTP the file from MIT-AI.  People who cannot
obtain copies of the file themselves may request a copy of the
file by sending mail to APOLLO-REQUEST@AI.

Hank Dreifus <Dreifus at WHARTON> is conducting an initial
survey about the personal workstations people on this list
are using and/or developing.  He would like to send him a
brief message describing the OA machine you use and why
(or why not).  He will collect the responses and distribute
a final summary to the list.

A complete record of the APOLLO discussions will be maintained
in the file AI:DUFFEY;APOLLO ARCHIV.  The archive is small now
because APOLLO is only a few days old.  However, this will
change rapidly.

Comments in the ongoing discussions should be addressed to
APOLLO@MIT-AI.  Administrative requests (eg. a message asking
to add someone to the mailing list) or questions about the
goals of this list should be addressed to APOLLO-REQUEST@MIT-AI.

Lastly, welcome to APOLLO.  I trust you will enjoy being part of
these discussions.

					Cheers,
					   Roger
