The definitive "person" to ask is info@parcplace.com (or the obvious
translation to UUCP domain).  The staff there has always been helpful
and prompt, usually supplying an answer to my most difficult questions
within the hour. I can't talk about ST/V, but PP ST-80 has incredible
customer service!  They really went out of their way to make sure my
demo would work at the FORTE conference last year, even to the point of
allowing me to call in the serial numbers over the phone to get a temp
liscence for the machines at the phone.  I can't praise them enough in
regard to customer support, and that is important for serious work.


Last I looked, SpacStations (Sun 4's) ParcPlace ST costs $600 to universities
and Sun-3's cost $300.  I'm not sure I correctly remember Mac's pricing,
so I won't say it.              -- Darren
