I expect this issue may have been beaten to death long ago, but I'm now
in the market for a UNIX-PC.  What I'm wondering is, aside from the obvious
support issue, how do the UNIX-PC and the IBM-compatibles compare these
days.  For instance, how does a 6300+ with UNIX compare to a 7300?  And
so on.  How do either of the drawing packages compare to something like
the Mac as well as each other? I'd be grateful and interested in any
replies or observations however high or low-level.
BTW, awhile ago I saw an article response that told of someone who
had access to APL source that might be hacked up to run on one of
these machines.  I'd appreciate that person or anyone getting back in
touch regarding this.  I'm dying to get my hands on an APL again.
