Hrmm. $2500 6100AV = $2100 6100.

Now try getting a _usable_ windows box that matches the performance for
this price (and I'm not talking about those 486/100 w/ 4 meg RAM and a 120
meg HD
that you see for $1200.. Note that I said usable.

I priced PCs a few weeks ago because I wanted to set up a Linux box. To
get a decent system you're talking about $2000 before the monitor and hard
drive.
