[net.wanted] 3B series Computers

<munch,munch>
I recently spoke to my local marketing agent for ATT about their new 3B
series of computers.  [For those who haven't yet heard:] These machines
contain a full 32 bit microprocessor (custom), are in the performance
class of the MicroVAX (3B2) and VAX780 (3B30), and cost significantly
less at retail.

Question:  Has anyone out there any experience with these, yet?  Maybe
some of you Bell people could shed some light on these machines.  Are
they any good?  How do they really perform?  What's good and what's bad?

Also, how about net.micro.3B ?

3B30?  There is a 3B20 which is between .85 and 1.15 of an 11/780 (depending
on who you ask), but it's made of 2901s, not WE 32000s.
