Oh yea, I almost forgot...

Our CEO said he just got an OEM price sheet from Sun (we are an authorized Sun  
reseller).  He said that the OEM price for the SPARC Classic was "ND", or "No  
Discount".  So, not only does it look like we won't be getting any SPARC  
Classic's for awhile (if ever), but it also looks like we won't be selling any  
either!
