Which reality is this, Chuck? In the one I am in, CBM has not released a UNIX
offering, at least not to the general public, or even educational institutions.
Those of us who are not clairvoyant will wait until then to criticise (or... 
gasp... even praise) the machine based on what it is actually delivered with and
what it actually costs.
