The impression I got (I don't remember the details but I had one of
their brochures with some prices and saw the UW article) was that the
machine was not particularly inexpensive. About $12K for a fairly
pedestrian setup, I remember a back of the envelope calculation
showint it to be slightly more than I would pay for a roughly
equivalent Sun or Mac-II with a disk etc., the Sun would be more
comparable in this case.

Were my impressions grossly inaccurate?
