Yes - that did happen. The person was Norm Meyorwitz at Brown Univ. and
he put his hypertext application up under X 10.4. It was in March 87,
right before Mac World. He got his Mac II with A/UX on Friday before the
show, unplugged his SUN from the Ethernet, plugged in A/UX, used the SUN
internet address and host name, mounted the NFS filesystems, and the
application was up and running in about 4 hours.
