My project is contemplating purchasing some unix workstations shortly. We are looking at a number of systems to fit the bill. I would be interested in hearing feedback from from those who use *BOTH* RS/6000's and other current-model unix graphics workstations (Sun, Mips, DEC and SGI workstations in particular). Main points of interest are ease of setup/use/maintenance of the system (network), programming ease/difficulty, compatibility, and support. Lastly, I'd like to pose the question, "would you buy one again if you had the chance". I'm aware that this leaves the door wide open for responses. That's just fine with me. I'm happy to hear any praise or complaints (here's your chance to get something off your chest). Because I'm likely to get lots of response, DON'T POST YOUR RESPONSE TO THIS NEWSGROUP. Mail it to me instead. I *will* summarize (might be long). If you respond, but don't want your response in the summary, I will honour your request. Thankyou for your help.
