If MacX ever ships. I've been asking about it for almost a year now, and I never get definite answers about shipping date or where I can buy it. I've been using an alpha version (which I *didn't* get from Apple for several months now and like it better than eXodus, but... I recently heard a rumor going around NASA that Apple has decided to offer MacX because they must, but do not plan to support it. Instead, they will suggest that people run A/UX. I don't want to use up 150 MB of disk space just to run X windows on my Mac. MacX, with its font files, takes up less than 2 MB of disk and doesn't require another operating system which is incompatible with many of my programs and INITs.

I don't want to put 800 Macs on DECnet and our local DEC office doesn't want to hear from us unless we're ordering a new Vax or an upgrade for an existing one. Besides, no one there knows any thing about them McIntoshes.
