Well it seems that AT&T is giving away its 7300... I have only one
question:  Suppose I buy a 7300 (presently I own a 6300) what do I
gain... Unix?  What else... I guess I loose usage of any software,
there isn't much public domain software for the 7300, and since the
machine didn't sell much there isn;t much "cheap" software to go with
it (fortran compiler for how many $$$$$$)?
Briefly, is there any reason to jump in the 7300 boat if I am to leave
from a DOS world.  I am using UNIX stuff on the Microvax II/GPX everyday
too, but were are not even talking about the same shell, am what about
compatibility...
Please, correct my ignorance if needed!
