Whitechapel Computer Works was at Comdex last November looking for 
distributors for the MG-1 presumably. Their system was very impressive
in the flesh.

Software was at that time was too fragile for customer interaction
but demos were truly impressive. Nice window manager. Pixel drawing
rate was high. They were using half height peripherals, there was not
a whole lot of space for expansion in the box. Styling is striking
(but you've already seen 4BSD), the cabinet looked great too.

I would really love to lay hands on one. The two I saw in November were
numbers 19 and 20 or there abouts. Could be some time before they 
are in real production. They said they planned to manufacture in the
US eventually. They were in the process of re-implementing their main
board with PALs to reduce the density (which was amazing).
