How do YOU know that "most" of the servers sold by Sun to .coms aren't "even out of the box yet"??? Are you a Sun sales manager??? How do YOU know that "most" haven't even been paid for? Are you in the accounts receivable dept @Sun???? Sun's profits went through the ROOF last year. Clearly someone was paying for all those web-servers and .com infrastructure products. I have had personal experience with re-sold netras. The VARs a hawking them like crazy. One problem is there's no SunService to support them. Another problem is that VAR's are morons who can't keep track of parts revs and keep shipping drivers that don't match devices. Another problem is that VAR's don't keep up-to-date on patch-revs. Another problem is that VAR's have a nasty habit of not answering or returning phone calls for support & service. Need I say more??? What intelligent IT mgr is going to go to the used equipment market for anything but a black-box? Hmm? Now Sun is shipping USIII's who is going to buy all those used USII's w/no support or service????
