Either you're used to SGI performance or you haven't tried it :-) The
3/50 makes a very nice X terminal (at least under SunOS, what with the
need for an FPU [which I finally have, thanks Steve] and challenges of
sup, I haven't put things together completely for NetBSD yet.) You
might surprised at the advantage of a direct bitmapped monochrome
frame buffer for doing font-intensive work.

And as for "most of us", there seem to be a fair collection of people
here whose *main* interest in NetBSD is running X11R6 on it, even on
4M systems. (As soon as I get some more disk and a better backup
mechanism, I'm going to have to look at cross-compiling a BSD tree :-)
