Sonki, > <we're buying one of those big Sun servers this at a cost of $3MM> I did not think servers were selling that high.< I recall reading that the $3 million Starfire was for a maximum configuration system, maxed out in terms of # of CPU's, lots of GB of memory, 100's of GB of drives, maximum channels, etc. Hardly anyone buys these. What most do is start with a much smaller configuration on an all new system. Then, if they like it, they upgrade, but rarely to the max system. They go to 64 CPU's, for crying out loud! So, I wouldn't count on 3 million times 150 = 450 million from this machine. Of course, they'll make continuing money on service of these, even though they never fail. ;-] Tony
