- Suns? Bleech!!!! WordPerfect for the stupid thing costs about $500 to
- $1000. Do not buy sun unless you like wasting money.
-
- Mac, NeXT, MS-DOS. (relatively) cheap to buy, and sw is easy to find,
- and prices well. All sun sw I've seen is expen$ive, and sucks.

- If you like UNIX, go with A/UX or NeXTStep.
