On my desk I have a terminal, MacPlus/HD20 and a *very* underutilized
Sun 3/110.  Why is the Sun not used?  Can you say "no software?"  Of course
there *is* software.  Interleaf, for examply, would be *super*--unfortunately,
it's a bit expensive for a university.  I'd like to trade the Sun in for
a Mac II, but my boss isn't convinced... *sigh*  I may have to break down
and buy one myself. :-)
