/**/ Here are the (rather meager) results of the recent query about Unix workstations: o Sun, NBI, and Cyb employees plugged their companies' machines. o A Fortune employee said "try us again, we've cleaned up our act" o An "objective observer" (not employed by any of the companies involved) recommended Sun and Callan; ripped Motorola VME and Intel 286/310. Said the Intel supports only 64K data segment (!). Ex-Fortune employee, said he'd had "pretty good experience" with his Fortune 32:16. o The friend for whom I posted the inquiry is thoroughly disgusted with Fortune. o The same friend saw a demo of the Sun and was impressed, but it costs $25K. This is out of his price range. Callan offers a 35% software developers' discount, so my friend is leaning toward buying one of their machines. Do you have one? Does is work? Does Callan support it? (Callan employees exempt from this inquiry.) The original inquiry is still open, so send mail about Callan or any other system which you know about, and I'll summarize. Thanks! ...tektronix!uw-beaver!uw-june!cwc
