I have only one comment on this otherwise excellent posting.  I'm really
disappointed in the TT's graphics resolution!  I don't believe for a second
that the TT (or any 386/486 for that matter) can compete with SUN/HP/DEC in
the UNIX workstation market.  It has too little standard memory, too little
standard hard-disk capacity, and (at least the posting makes no mention of)
no 16+'' color monitor (not to speak of the lack of color resolution past
640x400.)  Have you ever tried running multiple X apps on a 14'' monitor?
(I know, I know, you can always buy these 3rd party...but what a hassle).
