When Apple introduced MacPaint and MacDraw there was absolutely ZERO competition.

I think Sun has a very good line of workstations, but they are in need of more productivity software to compete in the PC market. -------------------- "My opinions" Jeff Boone boone@oce.orst.edu College of Oceanography, Oregon State University
