Here is most of a press release from Commodore regarding, among other things, there Unix machine and EDUCOM in Atlanta. Commodore Welcomes You to EDUCOM 90 Commodore has invited EDUCOM attendees to their suite on the 17th floor of the Hyatt Regency in Atlanta, Georgia to preview UNIX V.4 running on the Amiga 3000. This release features "enhanced" performance over the current release at Virginia TECH (which upgrades over the holidays). Dale Luck from GFX BASE will be showing X on the Amiga workstations attached to the UNIX server. Commodore will have both the product and engineering groups in the suite to answer questions about how the current preview program is coming. Over nine sites are currently using the A3000UX system. I am told that the booth is open in the evenings from 6 to 10 pm on the Sunday, Monday, and Tuesday. Drs Tim Lance and Herb Brown from SUNY-Albany will be in the suite to discuss their current use of MAPLE and MATH VISION. (MAPLE will be one of the first ports to the new UNIX system.) Drs Bill Pough and Len Nasman from Ohio State will be talking about their CAD and structual physics applications.

As in "-ing" not "-ney", one 'O' for Morehead. No flames intended, but he's our local guy so I'm setting it straight.
