I had broached this subject within the Usenet community about
a month ago and got some interesting feedback. Last week at
Uniforum in Dallas CADMUS demonstrated a taste of this (MacPaint etc..)
with encouraging results. I will raise the question again here:

"How would YOU use a MAC-user-environment (complete with QuickDraw, the
resource make etc....) on a UNIX machine [with: 68020, 8MBytes of memory,
1 GByte of virtual address space, {65,140,320MByte local SCSI disks},
Big File Servers on an ethernet if you wanted to run diskless, a distributed
file system {UNISON} on the Ethernet, TCP/IP on the ethernet, an appletalk
interface."

- Note that save for the 68020 this all already happens on a 68010 machne.

"Would you use it to develop software for the MAC?"
"Would you use the UNIX machine as a personal workstation and the MAC-user
-environment as your personal-environment?"
"Would you develop tools like a CAD package that the engineer runs at
work, and then carries home to his home to work on 'after-supper' on
his personal MAC?"

I would like to have some feedback from you prol's out there.

My Latin is poor but, "Vox Populi, Vox Dei", "The voice of the people
is the voice of God".

a prol,

marty
