Nobody can afford the hard disk needed for UNIX, but yet the cheapest
floppy based CPM-68K system you can put together yourself costs $5K?
Now wait a minute.  You can get a UNIX for the 68K from Fortune for $6K,
or an IBM-PC-XT and UNIX for it for about the same price.  And I've
seen indications that within a year there will be UNIX systems, with
a hard disk, for under $4K.  Maybe even a LOT under $4K.
