I wonder how many Sun PC-NFS defenders are in the same situation.
Using a PC because they can't afford a workstation?

(is it true that PCs are still cheaper than Suns? What if you
consider the cost of the software?)

Well, I think such users are a very small market. As far as I'm
concerned, when I use a PC, it's because I want a PC. When I
want a Sun, I use a Sun. But I don't want to throw away most
of the good features of my PC to make it look like the subset
of Sun that is possible, or vice-versa.
