	We finally got our AT's which have been promised since last October
and so it is time to get a *REAL* operating system for it.  I've used
Venix on an XT and have been reasonably happy, so I would like to stick
with them.  (I always was able to reach someone there who if they couldn't
solve a problem of mine would at least listen.  That has not been our
experience with "What disk problem?" IBM and Microsoft.  Does anyone have
any experience with VENIX on an AT good or bad?  At present, they only work
in the basic mode of the 80286, but promise a virtual system V real soon
now.  That's where XENIX has the real edge - but then again ...

			Thanks to all
