Boy, do I agree.  I had basically put off getting an ST (I have a 130XE)
but with Minix/ST announced, I have renewed interest.  But it would
be far more useful with a SunView/X/News/Whatever type of environment.
(I assume Minix/ST does not have one yet.  Yes/No?)
Sounds like a fun project to me also.
