  Well, I finally got to see it!

  Here at the Usenix convention in Anaheim (I'm in the Usenix terminal room
  right now), AT&T is demonstrating among other things an Amiga 3000 running
  system V.4, running X-windows!

  They have it hooked up to a network along with an AT&T machine and one other
  (forget the make) all of which are running X-windows.  The Amiga's display
  looked incredible!!  It was in "overscan" mode.  They had an application
  running that showed a train with vendors that market V.4 as the cars on the
  train.  (One of the trains was the C= train, of course)

  The train was running across all machines, which makes it all the more
  obvious that they had TCP/IP running for X to be able  to communicate.  All
  of the keyboards were marked "Do not touch," so I didn't get to play with it
  at all.  The salesperson said he'd get some information to me...
