pathetic

1 ghz P3 duallies - what, no p4 or amd mp?
2 Gb SDRAM - what, no 4 Gb of DDR?
ATA HD - what, no scsi?
2.4 kernel - what, 2.8.7 not permeated as far as sun?
 and get the "all for a total cost of ownership well below conventional 
servers" which = "the purchase price is going to be HIGH boys"

note the "comparison" page doesn't dare compare it with anything but the 
raq4 and xtr....
how about comparing it with 
http://www.supermicro.com/PRODUCT/SUPERServer/SuperServer6012P-6.htm then huh?

sorry sun, this might have cut the ice 15 months ago, but launching a 
product that is expensive and technically obsolete a year ago pretty much 
says it all
