They are called Xstation 120. The one I played around with for a while 19" color and 1280 X 1024 pixels. Unlike the old MegaPels, they took up the full screen. and had 8.5 Meg on board (512K+8meg addon). This to me was as exciting as their POWERServers. I will probably get to talk to my local rep tommorow about the Educational Prices. My friend (who works for a trading house) and uses DECstation flipped out when he saw a ticker news feed on a window and speed at which other applications were running. Needless to say this time IBM probably has done it right --- And jumped ahead of the field :-) Anil
