I prefer my RT over the last large machine [ Plexus P/95 ] I had
available to do development on.

There are a few things I'd -like- to have.  Like three 310MB
internal EESDIs instead of the #$*^%&@ 440MB SCSI I've had so
much trouble with lately.  Three E70s and a 9332/440 do not
cut it.

RTs come in a variety of shapes and sizes.  I could imagine
being quite disgusted with a ROMP desktop, 4MB, and a M44.
On the other hand, a 135, 3 E310s, a megapel, and 16MB fast
ram would keep me [ and xfish ;-) ] happy for a long, long time.

Getting the right CPU is a big factor.  ROMPs all need to be
heaved.  Next is LOTS of RAM and several big, fast disks.
