	As a marketing case history, yes the 3B1/7300 is a sorry tale.
	And yet, the system remains one of the more innovative of its era.
	While Sun and Apollo were offering expensive (and laudable)
	workstations for the techies, here was a windowing UNIX box for
	the "rest of us" (no apologies to Apple!) supporting a development
	system in 1 (one!) MB on a 40 MB drive.
