     Whats accurate about the above statement?

     For the record, our Sun rep told us the following:  
     "In March there would be a local demonstration of quality vendor
     software that Sun supports and that might better suit our needs."
     "Leonardo (One of the Vendors) might provide what we are interested in."
     And is one of the better packages that we have seen ourselves but have
     not taken a close enough look at. "One company, no longer distributes the 
     product we currently use and we might be better off waiting 
     until we knew what would work best as its upgrade and replacement. Sun 
     may supply much of the features we desire in the NeWS or OpenLook 
     software for instance."  Memory is often unpredictable and I wish the 
     building would stop moving as well.  :-)
