Well, I finally got to see it! Here at the Usenix convention in Anaheim (I'm in the Usenix terminal room right now), AT&T is demonstrating among other things an Amiga 3000 running system V.4, running X-windows! They have it hooked up to a network along with an AT&T machine and one other (forget the make) all of which are running X-windows. The Amiga's display looked incredible!! It was in "overscan" mode. They had an application running that showed a train with vendors that market V.4 as the cars on the train. (One of the trains was the C= train, of course) The train was running across all machines, which makes it all the more obvious that they had TCP/IP running for X to be able to communicate. All of the keyboards were marked "Do not touch," so I didn't get to play with it at all. The salesperson said he'd get some information to me... -Eli -- echarne@ics.uci.edu // \\ ``To understand recursion you echarne@uci.bitnet \\ // \\ // need to understand recursion.'' echarne@nrtc.northrop.com \X/ \X/ --Andrew Koenig, 2nd Usenix C++ conf.
