The trouble I see is the "switch back and forth" bit. Reboot!
On the other hand I don't see why the amy should be slower than a SUN 3/60.
The X environment at least should be as fast ( or faster ). The machine I
tried had only 5 meg but with a 9 meg machine memory is no problem.
The only way to find out for sure would be to borrow one for a couple of
days to feel it out.
