Well, I have a 1400 workstation and a 1000 terminal as the core of my collection of "Personal Computers." There aren't any recent OS upgrades and I understand the line was junked early on. However, I find the machine quite useful for getting my graphics fix and for a home UNIX box which I can code on my own. The 1000 and 1400 share several boards so I hope to survive hardware failure for some time. I'm interested in contacting anyone else who might be running these old machines to exchange hints on management, maintainance, and software. Jeff Anton
