Howdy folks...

	I am in the planning stages of buying a small unix computer
for personal and small software development use.  My budget in the
$5000 to $10,000 range.  So far, I am considering the following:

	Sun 3/50 or 3/60	SunOS
	Apple Mac II		AUX
	Compaq 386/20		Xenix
	ATT 3b1			Unix
	ATT 7300		Unix
	Apollo			(Whatever they call their Unix)
	
	Of these, the only ones I have much knowledge about at all are
the Compaq and the Sun.  I would much appreciate any info you can give
me concerning the other machines running unix.  If you can suggest any
others, please do so.

	BTW, I can buy most of these through a university, and get a
large discount (with Sun, 27%).

	Please respond by mail -- your help will be greatly
appreciated!


				Thanks in advance...
