I found peoples comments on the Apollo very interesting.  But one
topic was not mentioned that I'm curious about.  How well does the
Apollo (or Sun for that matter) work in a heterogeneous environment.

I ask because smaller non CS groups (like physics dept.s) don't have
the knowledge to make the machines sit up and beg.  Would such groups
effectively be trapped into a single vendor if they buy a few Apollos
(or Suns).  Or will they be able to use there old machines with new
machines out from XYZ with out respending a fortune?

Thanks
