It's time for me to get a 3000 (my 2000+ scads of video hardware was recently stolen, so I get to rebuild from scratch). However, I'm not sure if I can afford a 3000UXD at this point, but I can afford a vanilla 3000/25. Will I be able to upgrade in the future? I'm used to loading unix off of floppies (3b1s, MassComps, etc), so I don't mind that too much... Also, should I expect it to be educationally discountable? I'd hate to miss saving a grand or so just because I didn't buy UNIX when I bought my 3000. -- J. Eric Townsend - jet@uh.edu - bitnet: jet@UHOU - vox: (713) 749-2120 Skate UNIX or bleed, boyo...
