@neil I didn’t like the workstations manufactured by Sun in the same timeframe.

@neil you little-endian
(No, though it was very important at the time I used macros so as not to ever have to think about network vs CPU byte ordering... Yes, I did buy Sun kit, why do you ask?)

If course, you could later do the same level of graphics with a Playstation 2
