If you've got the guts to go mano-a-mano with a pure AT&T/Intel Unix with no sissy "SysViz" tools. And if you eat bugs for breakfast and come back for seconds. And you don't know how to dial a phone when you need technical support, then you're JUST the customer we're looking for. Let all the sissys join Microport and ISC, we've got a lean/mean unix at a lean/mean price, just waiting for someone with the "Right Stuff" to use it. Call us today and show the rest of the world just what you're made of. Bell Tech unix, it's not just a unix, it's an adventure!" What do ya think? Do I have a job Dimitri? :) On the serious side I think Bell is wasting their time selling Unix, the W.G.E. is MUCH MUCH MUCH hotter than their unix if you ask me. I mean after all, there are piles of unix vendors out there, but there's only one W.G.E.! Scott Turner scotty@l5comp -or- uunet!l5comp!scotty
