I am not a real expert on the coming of the new machines, but I
can report that the local BBS's (one of which I am the SysOp) have
mentioned the machine almost exactly the same as you have.  I
heard all of the above except for the last bit of the last line.
The ability to talk to the '41 and the '71 wasn't mentioned, but
is probable since they will want the machine to think fast on its
feet, not as slow as the '41 ever has.
