At this price - it will be a long time before I can afford a Mac II for a home UN*X machine. I also wonder how effective they will be competing against the "Big Boys" e.g. Sun. Anyone want to place bets on the relative speed of File I/O of a Mac II vs. a Sun? Anyone have any benchmarks? -- Bruce G.
