	Would anybody care to comment about their encounters with 
	Sony's MIPS based workstations (NWS-3860) ? or more specifically
	how does Sony's 4.3BSD unix hold up under pressure ?

At AFUU, we routinely test workstation, with our SSBA suite, and found that
the above-mentionned is a VERY good machine (performance, price, look, rich-

good results.
