This is new and interesting stuff, and we should all be intersted in where computers are going. What strikes me (looking from an industry point of view, rather than as a personal user - I wouldn't buy a MAC or any other computer on the market just now for personal use - they just don't do what I want at a price I could pay) is that we have the potential for a real impressive intelligent terminal here. Has anyone thought of doing for the Macintosh what Bell did for the BLIT? After all, a Macintosh DOES cost less, and yet should be able to handle a lot of the same features. Well, how about it?
