It certainly is. The CAD-software we use hasn't been given a timeschedule
for Solaris 2.x yet. So, what do we do. Yeah, buy HP, or Dec or something.
At the SparcClassic introduction SUN USA mentioned that Solaris 1.x has
about 5.000 available software packages. Not a word on Solaris 2.x.
(And the Classic and 2000 series won't run 1.x)
Scary.
