Well, affordability, like beauty is all in the eye of beholder. Sure,
I wish Mac ][ was cheaper, and so would everybody else, yet if a
machine capable of running full UNIX V with all sort of extras and
full 32 bit architecture costs as much as, say, a new medium range car, 
then one can venture an opinion that it is affordable, at least, for a
"working professional". Whether the above mentioned "working
professional" would like to spend as much money on a UNIX workstation
as he/she would be willing to spend on a new car is another question,
question of priorities, should I say.

Having said that, I wonder if anybody (Apple?) can tell me precisely what 
is the minimum configuration required to run effectively A/UX? I am just
about to make up my mind about my priorities.
