Still works like a charm. Matt dragged me to Oxford to fetch a NeXT workstation a few years back. It was interesting, but as someone who used desktop Unix workstations through that era it was kind of like business as usual. My favourite would have been the HP Series 700, used them at the Met Office, HP kits was beautifully engineered in that era., but I suspect Applixware, a sane Office suite was part of the selling point, especially Applix's mail client. Of course it didn't hurt that we had some really good software tools for working on the code. I suspect I would have liked the SUN workstations that City University had in 1988 if I'd spent any longer playing on them, I assume they were SUN-4's and was my first exposure to that sort of high-end workstation. Seems funny to call it high end now. -- The Mailing List for the Devon & Cornwall LUG http://mailman.dclug.org.uk/listinfo/list FAQ: http://www.dcglug.org.uk/listfaq
