One of the reasons A/UX is coming out late is the extensive QA it
has undergone. Keep your IBM RT. Of all the UN*X systems I've seen
or used or produced during the last 7 years, A/UX will, by far, be
the most full featured and stable on the first release of any of them.

The more people that follow Earle's advice, the better, as it just leaves
more A/UX systems "..for the rest of us".
