+    Speaking of cheap unix boxes, I recently saw an ad for a

+ 	Within this perfect 11 inch cube is a 220mb
+ 	formatted Winchester 60mb tape, 1.2mb 
+ 	floppy, a built-in UPS, math coprocessor,
+ 	up to 8mb ram, and support for 8 users.
+ 
+ 	... conforms to the SVID standard

+   to be selling it for personal computer prices. Has anyone 
+   ever heard of these guys before, or their box???

We have one of their boxes here and from what I am told, it looks
pretty impressive (so far at least).  We only have about 80 Mbytes
in our configuration, so other configurations other than what is mentioned
above are supported.  What is especially impressive, is pulling the power 
cord, and having the system keep running.  It even lets you know that it 
has lost power.  When power is restored, it also lets you know.
