Unfortunately, Pierre. You might have to wait for the SUN home boxes. The machines based on UltraSparcs are slated to be for engineering/science/financial/design workstations only. However, the home workstations will be the Java station which probably won't appear for another two years. Otho, I'd never unestimate the resourcefulness of computer enthusias/hackers to product all kinds of useful productive applications for the low cost Solaris boxes. - Chung >>>> You've got to admire SUNW's "take it to 'em" approach. While the industry debates NT moving upscale, SUNW introduces cheaper desktop UNIX workstations and upscale PCs. Next question - when can a non-technical user put a Darwin on his desk and run a full complement of software. I know java promises "run anywhere" but that's not here yet. Is x-windows or some such emulator now a realistic option for a UNIX home / office PC? I'm sick of hearing myself whine about Windows. Can I now do something about it? TIA. Pierre <<<<
