Re: How do I document vaporware?

["Karen L. Zorn" <k -dot- zorn -at- zorntech -dot- com>]

So I'm going to date myself and refer to the demise of a computing 
company waaaayyyyy back in the mid-80's. Not satisfied with the 
popularity of the first portable computer--it had a 3.5" screen, 2 5" 
floppy drives, was the size and weight of a sewing machine (about 25 
pounds), and ran on DOS; the company announced and highly publicized 
that they were developing the Vixen to be released "in the near future."

Needless to say, folks stopped purchasing the door stop, the R&D money 
quickly dried up, and the Vixen never got past the pretty pictures of 
the mock-up.

Now *that's* vaporware!
