	Ummm, I've had my UXD for a month or so and I'm a poor slob who
	had to pay NON-EDUCATIONAL prices for it. i.e. 3000UX's ARE
	shipping, took about 1.5 weeks for me to get mine. Got a 1950
	monitor and the SCSI tape unit as well.

	As far as advertising, check out REAL UNIX rags and UX adverts
	are in 'em. I just wish they'd release the A2410 so I could have
	COLOR X rather than this B&W low rez BS.

	1.1 UNIX has some problems, most notably the motherboard serial
	port has major problems on input but is VERY stable for a first
	cut R4 UNIX, the 386 first cut R4's were much cruder and unstable
	that Amiga UNIX; kudos in this respect for C=!

	So, if anybody wants a UX, just go to you're local C= dealer and
	order away! Comes with 1.3 and 2.0 AmigaDOS as well although no
	AmigaVision. Lot's of cool PD stuff too. It took me 15 minutes
	from the boxes being plopped in my office till I had it up on the
	company net, sending e-mail and reading news via rrn! Plug
	and play UNIX is FINALLY here!

	For those curious about Amiga UNIX, hang out in comp.unix.amiga
	for a while.

		Just call me a happy 3000UXD user,

		-Rob
