We intend to purchase a high end ACAD workstation in the next week. Sun has tempted us to wait until their 386 machine code named Roadrunner is formally introduced next Wed. (4/06/88). I realize that the official party line is that ACAD will be available on all popular platforms. But has ADESK workled with the new Sun product. It has been in beta test at a number of universities for some time. Help. The truth is that the current Sun products are slower than our current Compaq 386/20, though they do add a network for nothing. Which way to go!!!! John Luff 76276,3541
