Hi Bill, et al,
The page has been updated with the correct info, with the exception
of the monitor information. If the 19" color monitor, Sun Part #
X7135A has been discontinued, what is the IS-supported monitor that
replaces it? When I have that info, I'll update the page again.
Would it be simpler to create a form to submit info (to me and others
involved/interested) whenever the Athena, Mac, Windows desktop pages
needs updating? If so, let me know and I'll draft something for your
review. Undoubtedly, there will be instances that require someone to
supply the correct terminology, as well as fill in the blanks for
system requirements that I may be unaware of (this isn't my area of
expertise).
I'll wait to hear from you before drafting anything.
Kris
