Run AIX/PS2 or the Interactive Unix with X-Windows and stuff 4
monitors and run them all under X. Try that with a stock Mac or price
that with a Mac II. Remember a VGA, 25 MHz '386 with a 150MB Harddrive
will run you under $3500. Add another K for a Weitek floating point
and you have got yourself a mighty nice little workstation. OK, add
another K for a base UNIX OS, too. Still compare that to the 7 or 8K
for a MAC II with A/UX, and you'd still have a few thousand left over
for that 330MB SCSI hard drive.
