The Dec. 85 issue of Byte has an article on a Mac-like
personal computer that runs UNIX.  It is called "The Triple X"
and is made by Torch Computers in England.
It is supposed to be "launched" this month and its rumored
price is "nearer to the IBM PC than to typical UNIX prices".
This is a real product -- the author of the Byte article actually
used it and a picture of it is included in the article.
Sounds like a great alternative to the Mac.

Does anybody have more info on the XXX than is in the Byte article ?
Is there any new info regarding price and availability in the US ?
