We have fifteen 3B2s in daily use here. One machine is used for
UNIX training, and we frequently have ten to twelve people using
*vi* or *20/20* (a very good spreadsheet). Response time is not
blinding, but it is not irritating. In terms of price/performance,
the 3B2s win hands down over the 3B5 and the 3B20. We also have
those units here too.
