- I wasn't aware that Labtam was using XA/MX chips in their X terminals; I

- (Or, to put it another way, I suspect you misread what Mr. Kahn said; he
- didn't say there was little demand for 960's outside the military, he said
- there was little demand "for products with the capabilities of the
- MX/XA", presumably meaning "little demand for products with all the
- capability-based segmented-address-space stuff", outside the military.)
