- From my budget at least, $399 is *far* from cheap. I believe PC's have
- several options for cheap/free X windows <i believe, correct me if I'm
- wrong>. Isn't the 2 user version of AmigaUNIX like $599 anyway? I have a
- 14.4 modem and was wondering what the cheapest route to obtaining SLIP X.
- Oh Well,
- maybe I will have to write my own.
