- What a relief to see somebody complaining about SunOS being
- "peculiar", "interesting" and "different" for a change!

- P.S. Yes, I am old enough to realize that both HP and Sun have their
- own idiosyncranies (sp?), and that neither is more correct that the
- other. However, I am "root" for our HP machines and have been
- irritated by people on the net continuously asking "why doesn't this
- or that detail work like on our Suns?".
