I hope that anyone who is tempted to post some unnecessary inflammatory reponse to this will honor Mr. Milliron's request that the answers be sent via E-MAIL. Otherwise, I am afraid that I will finally be forced to figure out how to use KILL files :-). Here's hoping that we can allow this thing to die a quick and painless death.

If memory serves me correctly, the first Sun was made in 1981 or 1982. Definitely not as early as the IBM PC (1978? 1979?, something like that). -lee -------- Lee Atchison Hewlett Packard, Information Networks Division atchison%hpindda@hplabs.hp.com

The IBM PC was introduced in the fall of 1981. The Apple ][+ was introduced in 1978.
