A SUN which can run A/UX ??????? Actually, I've run Windows 3.0 with SoftPC/AT/EGA already on my IIci. Even on this platform, it is a VERY slow puppy. Supprisingly the IBM people who run Windows on a 286 platform get *approximately* the same response. It would seem that Windows really needs a 386-25mhz platform before a Mac person would find it useable (if ever ;->). Truth or fiction: Most people who bought Windows 3.0 are not currently using it because it is a slow memory pig?
