Unless Apple departs from their >usual policies, support will be tolerable (expensive compared to most >personal computers, very inexpensive compared to most professional machines) This brings to mind another question: who exactly is going to sell A/UX? I presume that there will be some sort of dealer qualification program (like there was with the Mac II), but sometimes I shudder to think what dealers who can't even sell/support RAM upgrades would do with something like A/UX. Or will the product be sold only through the corporate sales force? ========================================================================= Robert Hammen Computer Applications hammen@csd4.milw.wisc.edu Delphi: HAMMEN GEnie: R.Hammen CI$: 70701,2104
