Kelley) Newsgroups: comp.windows.x Subject: thanks for advice on Q: "buy Xterminal or workstation" Message-ID: <1989Sep11.141320.17787@cs.dal.ca> Date: 11 Sep 89 14:13:20 GMT Organization: Math, Stats & CS, Dalhousie University, Halifax, NS, Canada Lines: 11 Thanks to all who emailed me advice on whether I should buy an Xterminal or a workstation. The bottom line was yes, given the considerations: (1) cost; (2) administrative effort (given that my job is to do science, not computer work); (3) flexibility for future technologies. If you'd like me to email you a summary of the advice and my thought process in making the decision, email me. -- Dan E.
