C'est la guerre. I asked the AT&T salesman about source licences, and he had no idea whether I could get one at all, far less what it would cost. This thing isn't being marketed as a hacker's toy; AT&T seems to be striving for the office automation market. Off the wall thought: a $15000 3B2/300 with full UNIX is nicer than a $6500 Radio Shack model 16B with full XENIX -- but not nearly twice as nice, and definitely not as much as twice as fast.
