Yes (though more likely for Alpha/SPARC/PPC...m68k & MIPS are a bit more
obscure). Not at Barns & Noble, to be sure, but certainly at more technical
bookstores (e.g. Engineers Bookstore near Georgia Tech had them last I was
there).
or can you buy any software for non-i386 platforms?
Usually not.
Yes. See above.
What about Netscape?
Several alternative platforms run Netscape just fine, even if some of them
are emulating the version of Unix that originally ran on that chip.
Of course, trying to make such sweeping statements about Linux based on what
can be purchased commercially in a bookstore is like making judgements about
advanced telecommunications based on a visit to Radio Shack.

But then there's an AmigaOS port of Netscape as well, by that line of
reasoning.

Which is a valid judgement if it's about the state of advanced
telecommunications in the hands of common people. By going to Radio Shack (I
suppose, never having been there), I'm sure you could make quite valid
judgments about the common availability of DAT recorders, MO drives and SACD
players.

I can't understand ANY current MICROS~1 product names!
Are they now created with a random word generator?
What is the intent behind the name "Visual Studio" for their compiler suite?
What is "Interdev"?
Why is the Virus Transfer Protocol product named "Outlook"?

I've bought both a DAT deck and a SACD deck (the
latter via special
order) through Radio Shack. I wouldn't recommend it though.
Well, as I said, I haven't ever been to a Radio Shack, so I don't have such a
good conception of what they actually sell, apart from TRS-80s.

New subject: BA123 Power
Hello All!
I am wondering what the power requirements of a fairly standard uVAX-II in a
BA123 case would be, what kind of hookup it needs, voltage and power
requirements...
also, for the DIGITAL fanatics i've got an old DECpc sitting here if anyone
wants it to complete collections..... no? thought not, just couldn't resist
asking!
