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. marty schoffstall {wivax,bbncca,linus}!cadmus!schoff USENET schoff@cadmusv.ARPA ARPANET
