Hmmmm, this looks interesting, could be fun to play with. Can you give us
some more information about it? How big (physically) is it, what sort of
power requirements does it have, what can the OS do?

"Jub'f Xvob?"

	Imagine the system unit taking 4 square feet of floor space, it 
stands about 16 inches tall and weighs more than an old Philips K9 TV.
Depending on the house wiring you may or may not notice the lights dim 
when you switch it on. You will have to get a supply of 8 inch floppies to 
feed it. The value of its OS today is dubious, a PC can do a much better
job. 
	Don't forget that the system includes a number of terminals not
much smaller or lighter than the System unit.
