However, none of the local computer stores seem to know much of anything about it. (Actually, they don't seem to know much about anything, but even those who knew what Xenix was don't know when to expect it). So, I have two questions: (1) Is Xenix available, and, if so, where? (2) Are there any other machines out there, in the < $10K range, that will provide the same functionality as the AT under Xenix? What I am after is at least a full 16 bit architecture, >20MB of hard disk space, some reasonable form of UNIX, and preferably some high resolution (at least 512 X 512) graphics. Please respond by mail, and I will summarize to this newsgroup. Many thanks. -- -- Jonathan Corbet National Center for Atmospheric Research, Field Observing Facility {seismo|hplabs}!hao!boulder!jon (Thanks to CU CS department)
