I originally simply posted an ad I saw for a 25Mhz 386 box, 8 expansion
slots, VGA color high res monitor and card, 60 meg 1:1 hard drive, floppy,
keyboard, 1meg RAM  for $1995.00 ... and correct me if I am wrong,
there are several flavors of UNIX to choose from that should indeed 
run on this machine.  I don't understand why people such as Jouni
say:  " first truly affordable machine for Unix-usage; ... as good
but MANY TIMES cheaper..".  Does Jouni know something that I don't
know?  Has ATARI announced a price for the TT?  Is it MANY TIMES cheaper
than $1995.00 ?  WIll ATARI support their Unix SYS V as well as they
have supported TOS?  Hmm...I guess only ATARI can tell us for sure,
and since their lips are sealed, it's hard to read them....
