Does anyone have experience in running a GIS system (Geographic
Information System, in particular ARC/INFO) on a RISC-6000 ?  I'd
appreciate hearing about your experiences.  The good, the bad, the
ugly, etc.  (The alternative would be a VAX 4000 running VMS or a lab
of PS/2's running MS-DOS -- both of which are existing GIS
environments.)

Thanks
Steve
