I'm currently considering the relative merits of purchasing a color
X-terminal xor a comparably-priced Sun SPARCstation SLC to accompany
a color SPARCstation.
If you've had to make this choice, have strong opinions either way, or
have relative performance benchmarks, please send me e-mail, and if
there's sufficient interest, I'll post a summary.
Comments from Sun, NCD, Tek etc. are welcome, provided that you make
your bias explicit.
My application is both Graphics- and CPU-intensive, so the big
question is "Does the supposed performance increase of the SLC
outweigh its lack of color/greyscale graphics? Is there a major
loss when attempting to display color images on it?"
Thanks in advance,
Rob Levene
