[comp.sys.mac] Academic workstations : Macinto

mahan@zaphod.ncsa.uiuc.edu (06/19/89)

In response to your complaints about the Sun Write/Paint/Draw -- did you ever
see the initial Mac Write/Paint/Draw?  Sun's first attempts are definitly
superior to what Apple was releasing with their systems.

My comments are my own, not necessarily those of my employers.

   You're absolutely right.  But I don't know if that is a valid comparison.
   When Apple introduced MacPaint and MacDraw there was absolutely ZERO
   competition.  Now the market is much different, the standards have
   been raised and nobody wants to go back to original MacPaint/Draw.

   I think Sun has a very good line of workstations, but they are in 
   need of more productivity software to compete in the PC market.
