From article <2414@canisius.UUCP>, by elgie@canisius.UUCP (Bill Elgie): > I didn't see the original posting. But: the base DECStation 2100 is "adver- > tised" to have a list price of $2100. If one gets a formal quote from DEC > (I have one in front of me), the "UNIT PRICE" will be listed as $8670. Be- > low, after all the model description verbiage, will be another line, called > "Extended Warranty Option", together with the difference in price ($720, > which is equal to 8670-7950). > > In DEC's Brave New World, the one-year warranty is a return-to-wherever war- > ranty; one pays extra (via the EWO) for on-site service. > > greg pavlov (unde borrowed account), FSTRF, Amherst, NY The 2100 most assuredly does not have a list price of $2100.
