Mr. taxman,

what is an ultra?

It's a Sun computer about the size of a PC that runs a Spar CPU and Solaris OS.

We used it to run simulations on instead of on our big Unix boxes. They are a great deal slower then the big Unix boxes but have lower price. They run a version of the Solaris OS which is good for simulations or a Unix workstation.

Thank You

JK
