A few comments...

Oracle and Unify are also available for the 3B1.  (Accell isn't.  Unify Corp.,
if you're listening:  Please correct this!  I would *kill* for a good DBMS on
this thing!)  I think I saw Progress available as well, but I'm not certain of
it.

If your previous experience is Unix, skip the Smart Software.  If this
critter's the same on PClones as it is on the 3B1, it's no wonder I'd never
heard of it before: the only thing I found even partially useable was the
spreadsheet.  I've offloaded it and am willing to sell it for $200 to anyone
interested... the DBMS is okay if all you're after is dBase III type of stuff
(having used Informix, Unify, and Oracle, I can't put up with dBase-style
DBMSes).  Probably good for people upgrading from PClones to real computers.
