>From Griss@Utah-20 Mon Mar 8 16:08:45 1982 I suppose I should add my $.02 as well. We have 2 Apollo's, they are connected with a well designed working network, which permits files to be accessed by name on other members of the network. Our systems have BitPAD ONE's, and we can expand/contract and move windows quite easily. PASCAL (as opposed to the internal SPL that they had), has been released, with a real manual, etc for some time (i.e. at least November). They did not want to call it PASCAL until they were happy (unlike other manufacturers). The resolution has ALWAYs been 800*1024, with working BitBlt, multiple fonts, etc. We have a FONT editor. It does indeed have a GREEN interlaced display, being replaced by a non-interlaced BLACK-WHITE. Thus it has the same resolution as the PERQ, and MUCH more software that actually works! [We also have a PERQ, so we have experience on BOTH machines]. It seems a bit more expensive than the PERQ, but does have Virtual Memory (~9MB process), and came with a working Network and larger disk, in a larger cabinet . So where's the problem, and the need to relate inaccurate information? Martin L. Griss -------
