A few things I remember. Early 90's a few old friends that worked as security guards all bought 486 clones so they could play DOOM. Probably about the same time Autocad and Schematic Capture running on a PC was fast enough. Couple of years later friend that worked for big corp got a sun work station as his work computer. Quickly noticed his officemates PC took 1/3 the time to compile. Electronic suppliers chasing high PC volumes didn't give an rats ass about companies like Sun's rounding error volumes. I remember Unix boxes as being clunky. To boot insert the boot floppy. Power failed, your file system is toast. I feel like this all point to them failing to innovate out of their core competency and create cash cow products.
