Hey, ho, it's that time of year again, and the capital budget fights are on again. Time to see if vendor promises are real or vapor, check the list twice, and all that sort of stuff... Talking of vapor... :-) Has anyone heard when the Motif application builder UIMX will finally see the light of day? One gets tired arguing Open Look vs Motif, with the Sunnites using their icon-based file browser, mail tool, xdbx debugger, and giga-bytes of free PD software, when all we HPites get is an HPterm and ELM. Gak! Our solution so far has been one or two HPs running Motif to all the Sun Sparcs on the net. The Open Look programs look pretty good with MOTIF frames :-) Sigh... Has anyone seen/got any of the MUCHO-HERALDED MULTI-MEDIA-EVENT-ANNOUNCED 68040 processors? Is this the "Teddy Ruxpin" of computers, where you've heard of them on the news, but can never find them on the shelves? NCS is better than RPC, but who can afford/justify 57 licences for NCS when RPC comes with the operating system? What USES NCS anyway? --POOF!-- Oops, reality check... Anyway, this is one HP fanatic who is MIGHTY TIRED! That SGI over there looks might cute, Yeah, yeah, that's the ticket... And, it does 3D rotations with an X server of more than 4 colors... :-) ********************************************************************* Tony Burzio * NO no, not THAT button!
