HP says this machine is available in two configurations: one supporting
15 users, the other supporting 30. The gentleman manning the station did
not know if this would support MAE (Macintosh Application Environment),
thus enabling a single machine to run SIMULTANEOUS "sessions" with
X-windows, MS Windows, and MacOS. (Yes, Denys, I had to ask.)
