| Mac ][ possibly will be the first affordable supermicro with the consequent
| next revolution in sight.

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.
