Y'know.. we've got all these '386 clones scattered around the company
on which the *ONLY* OS is System V ..

I'm sure a die hard PC-DOS fanatic would have the same reaction.
Yet, in general, people don't bat an eyelash to the idea of running
Unix on a PC.  (I personally find it less than satisfying since
the hardware/software fit just isn't "quite right".. sigh)

As for Unix on the A3000 I'll (probably) be buying Real Soon Now..
I'm kinda up in the air about it.  I wanna have a Unix machine at
home to work with & I can see that an Amiga would be a really really
really good machine to run Unix on (given the fast bus & accelerated
graphics).  Better than just about anything else that I could afford.

Yes, AmigaDOS multi-tasks and I should be happy with that.  But having
Unix on my home system is vewwy vewwy important -- and I've grown tired
of the administrative hassle of having two systems at home to take care of.

Soooo...
