I'm looking into getting a workstation for my desk, and I'm
considering the RC2030 (maybe its the RC3030 now ??) and perhaps a
M/120 or M/200 Fileserver for our group. I've had no dealings with
MIPS in the past, so I'm interested in hearing from people who have
these beasties, and what they think about them, more specifically:

1) How is MIPSCo support, both HW and SW ??
2) I come from the 4.3 world, will I end up despising RISC/os like I despise
AIX ??
3) How reliable are the machines ??
4) I have heard that they are great performers..How do they compare to
similar machines from other vendors ?? (DS3100, SS1)

Thanks for your input. Please respond to me directly...I'll summarize
if there's interest.
