Was that CompuAdd?  They went under about 1994 or 1995 I think.

I could never understand the reasoning that since it was just as good
as a Sun, it should cost the same amount.  Every clone vendor whose
pricing I checked out at that time wanted about ( <Sun list> * 0.95)

market worked - I couldn't understand why the guys at Unix Expo didn't
really want to talk to me when I mentioned I would be buying one
system.
