What about having to plug in all proprietary sun stuff as peripherals? Is it like Tandy where the computer cost you 50 cents and the disk drive cost 5,000? The only SUN's I had seen all had SUN this and SUN that for add ons. PS> printers etc.. scads of dough by the time a system is built. You mean 3,000 for the board?

PC's have won from Intelslime because dey wuz cost effective and would run programs fast and rock solid. Then came windows and fast and rock solid went our the window (:)yuk, yuk, but we gots flexibility. I am gpf-exceptioned in a very flexible way now, but I year for ease of use and installation that X does not really have.
