I think most every one who reads this list is probably pretty dismayed at the lack of maturity a few folks have shown here. I hope you guys and gals didn't buy a Sun 3/50, cause guess what ? When we announced the Sun 4/110 you couldn't make your 3/50 in to one. I don't think anyone was suprised. All this stuff about people who own 1000's being gypped because they can't plug in 2000 boards is a total crock. Sure, the people who bought the 1000's pulled C/A's collective butt out of the fire, and Andy and crowd can trace some fraction of their salary to what we gave them but it wasn't a loan for gods sake. Sheesh, if you bought a 1000 when they came out then you got the chance to be one of the 'gurus' of the machine. A Peter Norton equivalent. Hell your machine is no different now then it was then and at that time you could justify paying $2000 dollars for it. Frankly, I'm disgusted with this attitude, and if you want to badmouth C/A your free to do so, just be damn sure you tell people why you think so poorly of them. If you wanted a computer that would never be upgraded you should have bought an Atari :-) --Chuck McManis uucp: {anywhere}!sun!cmcmanis BIX: cmcmanis ARPAnet: cmcmanis@sun.com These opinions are my own and no one elses, but you knew that didn't you.
