One of the praises I heard for A/UX back in March or April was that a developer
had been given a Mac II with A/UX and X-Windows the day before a show and had
it running demonstrations the day after at the affair.  I don't know if
anything came of this. I seem to recall the show being in Pennsylvania, but
that could be vapor-thought. :-)

Of course, that doesn't do much for most of the Mac community not running A/UX
