None taken. I was quoted figures in that range being quoted in ebay when I first raised this matter on this list. Then there's the rarity of the hardware - Sparcstations are nowhere near as common as Wintel PCs, so I feel that does justify a somewhat higher price. You are free of course to negotiate it down. In fact I'd expect you to do so. Wesley Parish -- Mau e ki, "He aha te mea nui?" You ask, "What is the most important thing?" Maku e ki, "He tangata, he tangata, he tangata."
