At the risk of adding to this pointless discussion, why are we
comparing a 10 year old machine with what I think is the latest Sun.
How about a comparison of the Sun 4/280 and a simmilarly configured
MicroVax III (Yes thats 3, not 2!). I think they are comparable in
price, are they in performance (I was quoted 50K aust for a diskless
MV3 a while ago, what is a sun 4/280 worth?)
