Actually, Tony, we in the Silicon Valley area were recently treated to a
live demo of the Star at Xerox PARC, and one of the things we learned was
that the "Daybreak" (we're talking about the brown tower case about 2'
high x 16" deep by 16" wide, right?) is a later model of the Star (Model
8035 I believe?) So I hope I'm remembering all this correctly, and I hope
someone will jump in here if I'm wrong, but you may actually have a Star
in your midst.
