[eat this!]

I have a Sun 3/160 I spend most of my days on. The non-flicker monitor
is nice, but I still can't get DropShadow to work on it :-).

Virtual memory is nice too, but a necessity with those beastly Sunviews programs
("Hello World" +lsunview > 1/2 meg, can you spell "S W A P"?). 

Suns have their merits, but dammit, the Amiga is so much more fun!! And I 
can have one at home too. There ain't no marble madness out for the Sun,
and if there was, it would probably be 1/10th the speed (jerk-roll-jerk-
roll-page-page-page-swappity-swap-swap), no music, and cost $495 plus $200 for
training.

(hey chuck, how 'bout an Amiga emulator to turn the Sun into a Real Computer)
