Bzzzt! Wrong... ;-)  Some of our CAD people are moving from IBM dedicated
CAD machines to A3000s using XCAD (they haven't seen DynaCAD yet, and
want to try to use some type of Unix CAD so they can use 3000UXs)
They could have had 486 and 16" or 19" SVGA monitors, but they chose
A3000s instead.  Multitasking was one reason.  Company is General Motors.
