Dear Folks,

    I will be available in New York City all day on Monday, April
4th, and in the morning of Tuesday, April 5th.  If you know anyone in
the area that has a NeXT (I won't be bringing one) and would like a
demonstration of Executor or a pre-release viewing of V1.2 or
anything else ARDI related, please have him/her e-mail me and I'll
try to work something into my schedule.  I know my way around
Manhattan, but don't know much about the other boroughs.

    I'm giving people on this list first crack at me; I'll post
to comp.sys.next.misc on Friday if it looks like I'll have time for
more demos.

Dear Folks,  Oops.  My mistake.  I meant May 4th and 5th, not April.  --Cliff

Subject: much of Apple v. Microsoft tossed out

Dear Folks,

    As many of you know, we have excellent technology, backed by
Mickey Mouse documentation and packaging.  If you've ever spoken to
any of us, we may appear to be overworked and underfed.  Much of this
is due to the tightness of the financial community with respect to
ARDI.  The problem has been that with the Apple v. Microsoft lawsuit
still pending, no one wants to invest in a company such as ours.
However, apparently Judge Walker has thrown out much of Apple's case.
It will take a while for us to circle our wagons and capitalize on
this event, and in fact, since it wasn't a 100% dismissal, we may
still have to continue the waiting game, but it's looking good.  I
believe Wednesday's Wall Street journal had an article on page B1
about the Judge's decision, but I didn't hear about it until now.

    With a little bit of funding, we could be much more
productive, but even in the worst case, where we have to rely totally
on sales for the rest of our money, we'll still make excellent
progress towards our goal of having all the "big ticket" applications
qualified by next NeXTWORLD Expo.

Subject: Screen Size and Student Prices


Nice demo.  Which leads me to two questions:

(1) The demo seems to be in compact Mac screen size (512x340), with
no way to move to larger (in number of pixels) screen sizes.  I
understand that color (and therefore grayscale?) won't be supported
for a while, but is there any way to use larger screen sizes in 1.1,
or plans for it in 1.2?

(2) Are there any plans for student/academic pricing?  The rationale
for charging $80 to allow $300 programs to be run seems reasonable.
But with academic pricing, Word, for example, costs substantially less,
so much so that it almost costs less than the Executor's big ticket
charge to run it.  ($80 is on the margin of what I and I imagine most
students can afford for something that would just be used occasionally,
which is why I've hesitated to buy it so far).

Thanks,

- Trent Lange
