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. ============================================================================= Trevor Paquette - GraphicsLand, U of Calgary[Home of The Great Train Rubbery] Email:paquette@cpsc.UCalgary.CA ICBM:51 03 N/114 05 W Luminous beings we are, not this crude matter. *** Don't worry, be happy
