I emailed John and asked him if he could share what he has.
The Metaphor's I recall installing around 89-90 have a wireless mouse
that had a storage compartment, I don't remember if the keyboard was
also wireless... the units were grey and their styling reminded me a
little bit of the wyse terminals in the angles and the grey color... I
got to install several while working on site at American Express in
Manhattan, they were very impressive machines - they were being used as
I recall in the legal department as there were a couple of Lexis/Nexis
systems we maintained in that same computer room.

former Metaphor engineer.
Is he talking about a different Metaphor?
Metaphor Computer was started by ex Xerox people (Dave Liddle) in
Silicon Valley.
I have a slide show on my web site that they
developed to
celebrate the death of the company.
not obvious on the site.
