It probably is leading towards some new lowend system they want to come out with to complete their line that will extend from low to hi end use. Maybe someone could stick it in the PC side of a 3000T(UX). I understand it needs UNIX to work. This is unconfirmed information. neil -- Only 3132 shopping days left till the next millenium! Neil F.
