Negative. I ran across a reference to the brand in an old programming
book (1992). The book mentioned that there were Haskell implementations
available for "Sun 3, Sun 4, and Apollo computers". Was curious about a
computer brand I had not heard about before. Wikipedia says it had its
own proprietary operating system (Aegis) "because of the excessive cost
of single CPU Unix licenses at the time", and that the OS had a
networking system that was fairly user-friendly for that period. Just
curious if any of you all had any personal experiences to share.
