	 A very reliable source has told me that DEC will offer upgrades to
current 2100/3100 owners in the form of complete system enclosure swaps --
keyboard, monitor, and mouse remain.  The 5000's enclosure, bus, and
firmware appear to be DEC's standard for the Mips-based product line.  Those
planning purchases in the near future should request non-disclosure
presentations from their respective DEC salesperson.
	My question is how long will it take DEC to incorporate X11R5 (shipping
to X Consortium members at the end of this month) into their product line?
Public release of X11R5 is rumored to occur during a much warmer season this
year.  Again the timing is great for DEC as they convert DECWindows's GUI from
XUI to OSF/Motif.  Given DEC's lead time and product testing, I guess that it
will ship with Ultrix 5.1 next calendar year, but I would like to be
pleasantly surprised.
