Who, me? :-)
If I was unclear in my posting, I apologize.  I have had a bit more than two
hours of experience w/ Dandelions.  I used them in a class I was taking, and
also was partly responsible for helping new users and for maintaining some
of the software on them.  Altogether about 4 months of fairly constant use. 

Another posting said we were using outdated software; that is undoubtedly
correct, as we just got Coda; we were using Intermezzo.  Some problems 
are probably fixed.  However, we have not received the new ip-tcp from
Xerox...but, what do you expect with free machines? :-)
