Someone please tell me where AT&T has been so innovative that the
UNIX PC is a letdown?  The company which still uses discrete devices
in its desk phones?  The UNIX PC would be a fine machine from any
manufacturer; considering that AT&T only got into the market 1 1/2
years ago, it is an extremely good accomplishment.  (I still marvel
at the fact that they managed to get all those plastic index tabs
correct for their voluminous documentation.)
