 The commercial world (i.e Trading houses and Comm banking) in this city
 (NYC) have had workstations (DEC and SUNS) on their desks for years now.
 I think some of them have already ordered these machines. According
 to a friend of mine who has a DECStation and works for a large Wall St.
 trading house, they have ordered a dozen to test out the performance
 on some of their applications.

  I guess we'll have to wait and see what the market pronounces in a year's
  time.
