What US3 slowdown?

Sun has been moving to a direct sales model; third party distributors are welcome, but they need to add value. Interview one that doesn't, and you might hear complaints that it's not getting systems. That doesn't necessarily mean systems aren't being shipped.

As I recall, many of the systems at store.sun.com have had "Delayed" as the shipping date at one time or another, including the Ultra 5 and 10, when demand outstripped supply. That also doesn't necessarily mean they're not shipping any. Order one and you'll get an expected ship date.

JMHO.
