Another opinion (my own) is to go with the Suns - you have access
to a large volume of software (PD, etc), a large installed base
(esp. in Academia) and good pricing. An alternative is DEC, but
if you want to work with server/clients, I think Sun is probably
the easiest to implement and maintain. This opinion is from a
chemist, whose philosophy is to extract the greatest use from
the computer without being consumed by the process.
