Comdex/Fall, that great temple built to the god MS-DOS, will be adding a new wing this year dedicated to the Unix sect. Unix has built up enough momentum and credibility that the Interface Group, Comdex’s owner, is planning on setting up a Unix pavilion housed at the Mirage, that gorgeous new hotel in Vegas, and selling floor space to Unix newcomers as well as Comdex stalwarts who’ll be encouraged either to move their booths out of the main halls or set up additional stalls. Interface is even planning a separate Unix reseller community, Interface figures it won’t butt heads with its end-user oriented Unix Solutions show set for San Jose, California, running from September 4 to 6. Comdex itself will be a little earlier than usual this year and has been scheduled for October 21 to 25.
