It appears that we may be able to get some reasonably good deals from HP
on hardware. Currently we have approximately equal numbers of Mac IIs (MacOS),
Sun 3/60's and Sun 3/280, and NeXT machines. We are primarily a Unix
operation (BSD or a close relative preferred); the programming is done in
C (and Objective C) and Allegro Common Lisp.
We could use more Unix machines, high res color, gray scale/color scanners,
color printers etc. We, the Center for Human-Machine Systems Research, are
in the School of Industrial and Systems Engineering at Georgia Tech and
work on a variety of problems of human-machine interaction. Therefore, high
quality interfaces (with multiple modalities) are important.
I would appreciate any suggestions, advice, comments etc. concerning
HP equipment. I have not been up to date on HP's computers and any advice
on specific models would also be helpful. I am only a faculty-type and hence
not an expert on Unix-internals, even though I have played with AT&T Unix-PC
in the past and have a NeXT machine and a Mac II close-by wherever I work.
Please reply to tg@chmsr.uucp or tg@chmsr.gatech.edu (ignore where this
message is posted; it is our trusty-old VAX 11/780 to be retired any
day). Replies within a week will be appreciated since I will be gone
for a while after that.
