A low end Sun 3 is the same class machine as a fully decked out Mac II and I can purchase either for about the same price. (I can't say exactly how much difference there is because I haven't seen an official price on Apple's version of UNIX.) I'll bet the difference is under $1000 and I don't know which would be cheaper. The Mac II is roughly a small Sun 3 with the Mac ROMS added on. I see no "revolution" here.
