Seaking of X on Macs ... what do you do about a three-button mouse? Use the
Mac's single mousebutton and some keyboard key?
I've always wanted to have a Mac SE/30 set up as an X terminal. Being
small, quiet, and cheap, an SE/30 would seem to be the perfect thing to have
in a location where you occasionally need a terminal for a few minutes, like
in the kitchen. However, I've never actually gotten my hands on one, and,
in the mean time, a couple of our more important "kitchen applications" have
moved to Windows. So probably what I need now is either some little Windows
machine that will run VNC and Xfree86/Cygwin....
Still, I have a letch for small-form-factor computers. That's why I like
the "lunchbox" Suns. So if an SE/30 with a network card ever comes my way,
expect questions!
