I wonder if the powers-that-be realize just how much they have priced themselves out of the UNIX market? I gather that I wasn't alone in my vision of buying a MacII so as to ultimately run UNIX. But, I believe it is now cheaper to SELL my MacII and buy a Sun rather than just "upgrade". And with things like the NeXT machine coming RSN, Apple just might be in for a rude awakening.
