Sandpiper - desktop system - $18-20,000 Flamingo - deskside system - $30-35,000 But take these numbers with a large grain of salt. They might be cheaper, or more expensive. It also depends on how good the pricing is on the new HP workstations. I've also heard a small rumor that there is another small desktop alpha system codenamed Pelican and costing around $10,000 and is expected in around 6 months. Got this info from the latest "Open Systems Today". John -- Youth of today!
