    Wrong again. The Sol-20 was the first complete integrated micro. Check
    your history. It was sold as both kit and built.

    So you agree that it was first, Oxford? Nowhere were numbers sold a
    criteria of this discussion. Gee- that makes you look awful stupid.

    You don't even know who processor tech was then. They were the first...
    but overpriced and not that reliable. Bad management there. But they
    were the first integrated unit... and if you look closely, the Apple II
    was essentially a knock-off of the Sol. The Sol at least had a full
    keyboard.

    I find it a lot easier to use OS X on a G5. But if you want a real
    secure operating system for use in business critical data, use OpenVMS.
    You'll find OpenVMS on HPs website... deep in the business computing
    section or just poke in OpenVMS in their search box.
    But they are rather expensive.
