FWIW, I have noticed that the price of old, used Sun workstations (like the IPC, which has about the processing power of an Intel 486/50) has jumped in the last month (from around $50 for a base system a month ago to a current price of about $100). I wonder if that fact (if my perception is correct) is related to their use as trade-ins on new Darwins (I have heard Sun is giving a fairly good allowance for them, and will also sell the Darwin without a monitor on a trade-in, which can save $$$)? JMHO, of course.

It really has to be seen to be believed huh ? Superb company reputation. New Cheap priced Ultra 5 workstation is a great buy. Arguably Best version of Unix, Solaris V2.x on the market, in use EVERYWHERE at my place of employment. Hell I am buying myself for work, 3x Small servers and 12x UltraSparcs 5.... and that's just little old me !! Server business like the StarFires very good, and looking better Industry Alliances Java --> IF it ever contributes to revenue. Finally, Strong Buy by JUST about every analyst on the street, and still stuck in the low 40's. Enough to start drinking, heavily, as a reaction to it. What do you say Addi ?? Take care Jean
