Has anybody seen a sold rel4 for the 386 ? Can anybody quote a price ?
This has to be the best vapourware of 1990. In January agents promised
'it would be for sale in a couple of weeks'. The market is probably
screwed because it's too many home systems and too many poor system
managers which doesn't make good customers. So why worry their heads 
with all this new stuff ?. SCO has no plan when r4 will be considered,
and Interactive just released 2.2. Why not concentrate on getting the
enhancement working on r4 instead ? r4 working on ICLs machines doesn't 
help one bit because the big 386 market couldn't afford one, and should
better buy a Sparcstation SLC, 'cos thats not more expensive than a top
end 386, and runs DOS programs, just like the 386.

WHEN WILL I BE ABLE TO BUY SYSTEM V rel 4 FOR THE i386 ?
