Subject:      About color and other topics.

In response to the messages about color, what I've heard was from John
Sculley (President of Apple).  He held an informational meeting here
at Brown, and said that there will indeed be a Color-Mac eventually,
but to have made the original Mac color would have meant a release date
substantially later than when it was released.  He said that eventually
there will indeed be a Color-Mac.

Atkinson's DEBUGGER:
   It appears that Bill Atkinson left a debugger in MacPaint.  It was
found in version 0.95, though it may be in all versions.  It was found
twice by screwing around with the keyboard while in MacPaint, but
can't be found again.  Anyone with any information about it?  What I
know is this:  While 'A' was selected (for text), and Command-Q was
chosen a new menu bar appeared with the title DEBUG, and if it was
pulled down, three selections appeared: HEAP, WORST STACK, and MONKEY
TRAP.  Certain keyboard commands did things also.  I am obviously
missing steps, in that it can't be reproduced.  Any help would be
appreciated.
