Network Computer Comparisons


This is a list of links that should more or less correspond with the machines that were review in the July 98 issue of SunExpert.
The urls were found from surfing through the company websites, and were fairly easy to find.  Except for UMAX.  If you find any others please send email to Joshua Lamorie (jlamorie@engsoc.carleton.ca).  Also send any corrections.

This is a pre-cursor to a more detailed set of comparisons between the netwinder and computers with similiar attributes.
