- Do you also see colors that no one else can see?
-
- Probably, people see them and say: "I'm not worthy!"
-
- Do people have accounts on these machines? Unless a lot of people are doing
- X stuff, I can't imagine any reason why DECs would get more use than NeXTs.
- (That is, if the NeXT's don't have an X implementation on them.)
-
- Are they running 2.0 or 3.0?
- How much memory is in them? 8 megs? 16? 20?
-
- Do most people know what they are?
