Never said it compared as a workstation.  But circular windows... gee!  I
guess I'm wrong -- Sun's have it all over Mac's for serious work...

You Sun guys take everything so seriously... chill out.  And I thought people
here in NY were tense.  Actually, for serious typesetting, I'll take troff or
TeX on our Pyramids any day.  10 MIPS?  Whoopee!  My thumb is on my nose and
I'm wiggling my fingers...

Have a nice day...
