	How about a Sun with TOS windows??? That would be neat!!

	But seriously, the problem with Apollos and Sun workstations is the
cost of software. You can't run down to your favorite SoftwareIzCheap store
and buy Sun programs for fourty bucks!! And that is were the ST (and maybe TT)
are good. Software is dirt cheap compared to workstations.
