- Hi Andy,
-
- I recently came off a NJ state sponsored program that helped schools
- in the Hudson County area get in tune to a multi-cultural curriculem,
- involving satellite TV; one of the programs was a program spotting Multi-
- Media tools in the Classroom, which I had to help "pipe" down to each school.
- About 10 months ago, when that program was being aired Live, it was being
- sponsored by Apple, hilighting the use of the Mac -also giving demos on that
- same technology, the technician on the show said that it is being used now
- but on a limited basis around Apple to test it and hoped it would come to a
- consumer level around 1997 (but he said not to bet on that).

- Thanks
