We are faced with a choice of getting either a Sun 3/260CXP or one of
HP 320SRX, HP 350SRX and HP 825SRX.  From the literature, it seems
that the Sun 3/260CXP is comparable with the 350 with the 320 being
weaker and the 852 being twice as strong (though weaker than a Sun 4);
is this correct?

I would appreciate any input from people who have used these machines
regarding the quality of the HP-UX Unix system, the graphics quality
and speed and the computational speed (particularly floating point),
and any general impressions of user friendliness, learnability, etc.

Please reply by e-mail.
