   Yeah, but SUN is dumping *their* support for the SUN 3 platform, too.
All machines
sold by SUN (at least in CANADA) are now SPARC-based.

   As for SYMBOLICS, well, anybody want to buy a lisp-machine?  We have a whole
boat-load (1 3670, 3 3650s, and about 6 3620s) that we would like to
dispose of.
I'm sure we can provide easy terms...

   I cannot blame *any* vendor for withdrawing support for either of the above 
mentioned platforms, although I think SUN may be making an error in
dumping their
line of Motorola toys....
