I'll paraphrase Winston Churchill:

	Suns are the worst workstations, except when you consider the
	alternatives.

Realistically, I don't think Suns are particularly bad compared to their
major competition:  Apollos, VAXstations, and HPs.  I've used machines from
all 4 (HP to a lesser extent) and personally I prefer Suns.
