I agree with the individual who felt that a price war with APPLE
for something that was exactly the same is probably suicidal, but
what if you approach it from the high end?
Start with:
~1k X ~1k noninterlaced display
68020 with a real MMU
UNIX SYSV Release 2.0
1-4 Mbytes of memory
The applebus interface AND a real network interface:
ETHERNET
Configured as a ethernet'ed diskless node and 1 Mbyte @ $7000
Configured with a 65Mbyte disk @ $10000
Now add a windowing package that pretends to me a MAC and has the
QuickDraw function calls to start with.
What else would someone want? (This is a serious question.)
Of course this presupposes that users like the MAC interface. If they
don't then it is YAWS ( Yet Another Work Station).
I would like some feedback. Either through mail or in the news group.
