Yes, it is true!!  I met with Pat Mcloughlin (my sun rep here in Buffalo),
& he gave me a spec sheet on the new Sparc 2 !!!  Basically, it is
replacing the 1+ (with about the same base price, I understand, of around
$16,000).

It is 28 MIPS
400+ Mb hard drive
16 Meg RAM standard
GX graphics accelerator standard

Sounds great to me!

(28.5 MIPS 4.2 Mflops 21 SPECmarks, to be exact)
