      Monthly Dinner Meeting, Wednesday, November 20, 1995

                      A Third Platform? The BeBox

Is the idea of creating a third platform naive or clever? Jean-Louis
Gassee, president and CEO of Be, Inc., has developed the BeBox and
BeOS, a fast computer and crisp operating system (BeBox and BeOS are
trademarks of Be, Inc.)

You have heard the press rumors about talks between Be and Apple.

Jean-Louis, previously president of Apple Products Division, worked
earlier as an executive at Exxon Office Systems, Data General, and HP.
