Dear Readers,

This is a questionnaire about Sun Workstations. Our group
is going to buy several Sun-2/50 machines and would appreciate
it if you could react on the following points regarding
the Sun-2 Product Family (not just 2/50):

  1 -  general feelings/experiences with Sun equipment
  2 -  hardware reliability, service, maintenance, delivery times, ...
  3 -  performance (eg. yes/no use of SunWindow: with how much memory)
  4 -  yes/no problems concerning
	      a.  porting software to Sun UNIX (BSD4.2)
	      b.  Sun-1 Ethernet Interface on Sun-2 equipment
	      c.  non-Sun boards/controllers etc.
  5 -  Third Party software
  6 -  any other (special) subject of interest.

Thank you all. I'll make up a summary of the reactions.
MAIL your reactions to  mcvax!ard  .
