It seems ok.But if you are used to Sun systems,it might take you for while to get used to.As x-windows need three button mouse,mac one button mouse might drive you bit crazy. I use sun system to log into. Siri Hewa. |||OTC|| R&D Visual Communications siri@otc.otca.oz.au

Hello Siri, I tried to get to you by e-mail, but our machines here just can't seem to find a route to your zone. I noticed some days ago that you had mentioned that though the RasterOps 364 card was a good buy, you wouldn't recommend it for serious work as compared to the other boards you mentioned. Are there any specific reasons for that observation ? I would like to know because we are about to purchase a 364 card for 'serious' research and any hands-on info about that card will be very useful. Thanks in advance.

In fact, my Apple mouse is now stuffed somewhere dark, and I use this logitech mouse all the time. anders
