  My impression is that there are some people who will buy something
which is non-AT&T code for personal rather than technical reasons. The
rest of the market will look at cost of ownership, features,
performance, and then decide.

  This will probably be the only mach based PC product on the market for
the next six months (maybe a year) so it will be interesting to see how
it does. I'll watch from the sidelines for now.

  I get the impression from talking to local distributors that this is a
mail order product only, or at least it's not being handled by my
distributors. If that's the case I don't suspect too many VARs will be
rushing right out to sell it, either.

  Does it really run V.3 applications, and which DOS emulator does it have?
