Thinking Machines is alive and well. We've been profitable for the past
several quarters and are still selling Connection Machines (CM-2, CM-200,
CM-5, CM-500). We've been hiring people and hope to get out of Chapter 11
soon.

FWIW, Chapter 11 does not automatically lead to the demise of an organiza-
tion. It can make a much-needed business reorganization possible. See 
http://north.pacificnet.net/bklaw/chapter11doc.htm or your friendly neigh-
borhood lawyer for some more info. (I'm not a lawyer.)

Cheers,

Dan
