Re: It sells for $1,499 which looks to me like $400 less than the Qube if you figure $100 for the 10-port hub.

The DELL appliances are a little faster, a little more expensive, and aimed at a slightly different market.

rudedog,

This is exactly why the "logical" choice is NOT to go to a Sparc platform.

How would Sparc ever compete with these prices unless Sun wanted to lose money?

I think there's far more to what Sun is thinking than they are admitting.

Sells more in a month... Well it sounds like a company that knew how to turn a dollar (not to put too fine a point on that), particulartly a UNIX company (or that), *particularly SUNW (boom), might really make a go of it with these things then. --- How many of these things has Compac sold so far? Can you find that out? What are the forcasts? -JCJ
