Hey, don't knock it ! The company I work for has just signed a contract
with pyramid (gulp).
It's sad, they used to have all Sequent boxes 'till I finally managed
to get them to agree to replace the development machine with a P100
running FreeBSD. Builds (using my mk program, not make) weren't just
