The AT&T UNIX 7300, while it may have multi-user capability,
was built for personal computing -- otherwise why
do they call it the AT&T UNIX 7300 PC  (you don't
call VAXes PCs, do you?).  In regard to the Popular Computing
article, AT&T did not choose the N.S. 32xxx series
due to the un-availabilty of the chip.  In fact,
AT&T was going to have their AT&T UNIX 7300 machine
on a 80286 chip, with UNIX ported by Digital Research,
but later moved the job to Convergent Technologies.

Most of you net.people seem to think bitterly of
thr UNIX-PC, yet Personal Computing AND BYTE
both say that the 7300 is a useful computer.
(How do you think the PC-7300 got into Personal
Computing if it wasn't a PC [you don't see VAXes there
do you?])

Most of net.people against the AT&T PC are
Time Inc. people.  What do Time people have
against AT&T?
