Anyone out there get their Xerox workstations installed yet?  If so, how
is it going?  If not, when are you scheduled?

I'd be interested in seeing some competitive benchmarks, particularly
against Sun and VAX (I am told that the Xerox workstation, running Mesa
- not Interlisp, has roughly the same performance as a VAX 750).  It is
a difficult comparison - almost apples and oranges.  The Sun and VAX are
32-bit/word fast-register architectures, while the Xerox workstation is
a stack machine.
