I hope the higher up folks at IBM's Advanced Workstation Development Group
noticed the "lots and lots of 6152's" mensioned above.   

Our 6152 systems running AOS (release 2) here are used extensively.  The overall 
opinion has been 'thumbs up' for this type of UNIX box solution.  We have
6152s in professor's and system administrator's offices (the most particular
of users).  CS/23 students have been programming using X11R3 (emphasis on the R3)
in vivid color for the past three months now.

Not a bad report card for the ACIS group who developed these beauties.
