Low-priced work station from Sun

Article Abstract:

Sun Microsystems Inc's Sparcstation SLC workstation uses reduced instruction set computing (RISC), operates at 12.5 million-instructions per second (MIPS) and sells for $4,995 without a disk drive and for $6,695 with a hard disk. The relatively low-priced workstation is expected to compete with microcomputers for major office sales. It is capable of running popular programs such as Lotus 1-2-3 spreadsheet and Wordperfect and is far faster than high-powered microcomputers that operate 5 MIPS. The new workstation is expected to sell well in the software developing and engineering markets.
