To make a long story short, someone is offering me a used but maintained
3130 for $25k.
(1) Do you think this is a good price?
(2) I've heard the Fortran compiler is awful -- eg, can't use units 5,6
as stdin and stdout for UNIX redirects. Do you know a way around this?
Is there a 3rd party Fortran compiler around which corrects this?
(3) Can you suggest any sgi guru's worth consulting?
(4) Can you suggest any questions that I should have asked, but didn't? (And
if you know the answers, too, so much the better!)
Thanks, if you can help....
-P.
