I am getting real tired of seeing things like the following: Is there any XYZ discounts available? Does anyone know of a supplier for keyboard cables? I'm looking for XYZ interfaces for a Sun-4? How long can SCSI cables be? Who makes SPARCstation clones? How can I make a Mac print to a Sun? What do the values in the NFS write error mean? How do you set up a dialin/out modem? Which is better; 8mm or 4mm? Are there any books on the SPARC architecture? I would be willing to write a first draft of the document if the work in creating the document is a problem. Aydin Edguer
