I was in the CS Department at UC Berkeley for most of the 90s. Looking at the presence of various Unix workstations was like looking at the rings of a large tree. At various times, various Unix workstation vendors would donate hardware in order to help promote their version of Unix and/or their hardware. There were the Sun years, the HP years, the DEC years, and the Intel-based PC years. Jon Forrest
