  I must agree with Dave. I have been using Sun workstations for about 3 years
 now and I think it is the best devellopement system around. 
  The Sunview window environment is a joy to work in compared to other
 windowing systems I have seen. Mex on the Iris is totally brain damaged in
 comparison to it. I have nothing bad to say about Sun (the computer or the
 company). I really hate it when some people give there 2 cents worth when it
 is only worth 1. Alot of people don't give things a chance to improve, if
 it does not work first time then they refuse to look at it again.
