Well, actually 9 Meg if you include Chip RAM...

Technically speaking, certainly. Far as I know, the UNIX folks don't have
any special "A3000UX" machine in their offices, and until last summer, they
all had A2500/30s there (the A3000 does offer the advantage of easily having
more than 4Meg of 32 bit RAM, important for memory hungry UNIX). Whether C=
will sell a stand-alone UNIX package, or only offer the A3000UX bundle, is
of course purely a marketing decision.
