The STAR people came here to talk today.
Here's some facts/rumors that were new
to me:

o       Mesa will probably be released for 
        the STAR either the 4th quarter of 
        this year or the 2nd quarter of next 
        year.

o       Smalltalk "will NOT be released on the
        STAR or anywhere else" -- a "small 
        outfit in Silicon Valley" (not PARC --
        I'm not sure who they're talking about)
        licensed it to HP, TI, and Apple.  When 
        the STAR marketing people found out, 
        they "put a stop to it"

o       A personal computer called the "inch-
        worm" will apparently be announced 
        soon.  It is about book-sized, has
        a bitmapped display, and measures
        about an inch thick (hence the name).
        Could this be a first pass at the 
        Dynabook?

o       They won't sell just one STAR until
        next year
