Some time ago Sun recognized that their window system was a loser (from the
programmer's point of view, at least: incredibly complicated) and hired James
Gosling to do another one.  Since others discovered this long ago, there are
at least three fairly well known alternatives to Sun's window system, and two
are essentailly freely available (Andrew from CMU/ITC to Universities only,
and X from Project Athena to anyone.  Both are portable.).

(Gee, everything about Apollo sounds so great but the price of the stock :-)
