(Before I start, a WARNING. I know close to NOTHING about UNIX. I hold the
current college record for most crashes on the Apollo Domain system here,
(I can crash one of those suckers by thinking bad thoughts at it!) and I am
probably the least qualified person on the planet to do a UNIX machine
review, but there seems to be a lot of interest in the new toy, so...)
I have seen a 3000UX. Used it, played with it, related to it.
Where? A local trade show 'bout three weeks ago. It was in a booth of a
local dealer. Yes, that's right, a dealer - not Commodore proper. I think I
can assume that this is the shipping version.
I know it was a 3000UX, because it said "3000UX" on the front of the
machine. It had a 100mb hard drive and 3mb of RAM. (or maybe 5).
It was running some GUI that looked very Mac-ish. Black and white. It
also seemed horrendously slow. (At least, to me. I had just finished
with Imagine on another machine, and, in comparison, it crawled.)
I had a spec sheet on it, but I canna find it. (Yet!) When I do, I'll
post.
