Scott, I choose SUNW. You apparantly haven't heard of their new Darwin line of computers (aka NT killers). $2995 buys you 270mhz ultra sparc processor, 64 MB main memory, 4.3GB hard disk drive, 100mbps ethernet port, 64-bit address and data buses, VLSI technology with 4 PCI slots (PC compatible cards are a-ok), and Solaris with wabi to run Windows applications (like Microsoft Office). Tests have shown that the Darwin Ultra 5, Sun's lowest-end product, is 31% faster w/cpu processing than the high end Compaq, or HP PC's running Pentium 266 mhz processors and TWICE as fast in the I/O slots. Not only do you get more bang for the buck than with a PC, you also get a stable OS, instead of some piece of shit like NT. End-users can select from list of 12,000 different applications that run on Solaris. And you get Java (100% pure Java). Bill Gates is going to get his ass kicked. cheers, cherylw
