Henry,
Thanks for your comments. All PR1MEs terminals are "expensive" compared
to independent suppliers and they pretty readily admitted that. I think
the major problem is not the expense of the terminal but that the OA
systems seemed not to partake of PR1MEs "software first" philosophy.
There were many incarnations with many problems, and they were external
products to begin with. PR1ME builds systems tools, NOT applications
packages.
I'm unfamiliar with the capability of the 2250 (Rabbit) but know it is
more than a Workstation (and less that the traditional time-sharing
PR1ME) so I can't make many comments at this juncture. You'll probably
see it before I do; what do YOU think of it.
Regards,
Barry
