I know your bailiwick is comp sci and support, but maybe you no some facts tangential to this. What kinds of APPLICATIONS are actually runable on the A3000UX? I am specifically interested in engineering and CAD applications. OK, I know about Maple. Any others? The Autodesk guys at the NAtional Desing Show acted as though they'd never even heard of System V release 4 ^^^DESIGN^^^ (darned typos!) From the way they talked AutoCAD would only be supported on MS-DOS and SPARC platforms. I'm not a big AutoCAD fan but I'd like to see SOME market interest in Amix. How 'bout Cognition, Inc.? They do good stuff that would suit the A3000UX very well. Any clues? Thanks...
