I'd guess then 64MB was it.
That sounds really crazy in today's world, we don't normally count in
MB.

Our staff was sure we'd all want to go to CDE.  They put that
XDM type thing in our way and expected us not to complain.

No way we would put up with a task bar/pager staring us in the face.
During the glory days we had more and more developers switching
over to a nice clean fvwm2 based development environment.

Of course Windows struck and everyone was forced to at least
have a Windows machine on the desk.  To this day, we still have
a few people working primarily on Sun's.
