Well,  I have a 1400 workstation and a 1000 terminal as the core of my
collection of "Personal Computers."   There aren't any recent OS upgrades
and I understand the line was junked early on.  However, I find the machine
quite useful for getting my graphics fix and for a home UNIX box which I
can code on my own.  The 1000 and 1400 share several boards so I hope
to survive hardware failure for some time.

I'm interested in contacting anyone else who might be running these old
machines to exchange hints on management, maintainance, and software.
