Scathing...hmmm...in my humble interpretation, I would say perhaps
lukewarm.  The summary in the review says "...[A/UX is] a good
first step toward the MacII into a Unix workstation."  Anyway, lest I be
accused of out-of-context quoting, it's best to judge for one's self.
A recent issue of UNIX World had a fairly positive review (not sure
which issue, sorry), as did the June 27 issue of UNIX Today
(BTW, I am a contractor, not an Apple employee).

I'm not sure if it's clear from this posting that these prices include the
fully configured MacII (monitor, floppies, 80Mb hard drive, etc.).

Those interested in details about A/UX can read or post requests
to comp.unix.aux.
