So much so that I am sometimes left wondering about our sanity, but remember that OSTC is a non-profit. We don't have a horde of avaricious share-holders to placate every moment of the day. We'll see how the numbers balance out at the end of the exercise. I would not like to promise to repeat at the same price. So be in fellows. For example compare the above to the number ( $2,500us ) mentioned at:- http://www.sgi.com/support/custeducation/courses/linux/intro.html Which, at first sight anyway, does not appear to be offering quite as much as we are.
