That's funny. I (Chris Hoogendyk) am about to do the exact same thing. I saw
one of the replies, addressed to Chris, and I thought, "wait a minute, did I
post that? I thought I was just thinking about posting that."

My G3 is on order. I and the LAN administrator for the UMass Library in
Amherst. We have two Novell 4.10 servers, 3 DEC Alphas, 1 Sun, 1 VAX, and 2 NT
servers. The library as a whole is totally PC, and is just converting from
Windows 3.11 to Windows NT. I figured I could do a better job of administering
that mottly collection if I had a Mac.

We should stay in touch and trade war stories.

I will also be getting eXodus from White Pine to access the Unix servers
through X-Windows. I have BBEdit and all the graphics tools and will be
getting involved in our Web presence.
