There's a little bit of irony here, though.  Cirrus Logic, the company
where I work, uses Sun workstations to design chips...and these chips
are used as disk controllers and VGA display controllers in MS-DOS
machines, which are then used by people who would rather solve problems
using MS-DOS than switch to Suns.

Small world! :-)
