I think we are missing something here. I have been reading this net for
some years now, and I can't remember ever having seen debates on the
possibilities of buying one's own unix-box.
Up 'till now, unix machines have always been purchased by the
company/institute someone is working for. Now that a company brings
out a unix version on what actually is a large PC-type of machine,
I read many complaints that it's to expensive.
True, I personally don't have the money to buy a MacII with A/UX, but
I know that the institute I work for is seriously considering buying
MacII's, with respect to Sun's and the like.
So, to all you hackers who are trying to get their hands on a unix box
for their personal satisfaction I say:
"This is the first time ever, that you are even close to buying a
unix machine for yourself, all beit still not a cheap one ..."
