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. :-) -- Dave Thompson uucp: {ihnp4|hplabs|psivax}!csun!dlt CSUN Computer Center phone: (818) 885-2790 18111 Nordhoff Street, Northridge, CA 91330
