After both Sun and NeXT have screwed us by "improving" their
keyboard designs (how rendering them virtually unusable is an
improvement is beyond me), the marketroids are at it again.  San
Francisco has a *huge* Asian population--and they're more than
proportionally represented here.  With the recent decision to
change from Sony to Philips monitors, I think I now have *three*
good reasons to seriously consider Sony NEWS workstations in our
future plans.  So much for NeXT being the "perfect" workstation
for Higher Education.

I want it!  I want it!  I want it!
