In other words, if I trade in my Sparc 2 for a Radio Shack TRS-80 (OBHack:
create X server for TRS-80), I'll get a pay raise?

Sure, all money comes from 'above'. But saving money in one area does not
necessarily mean that the money will appear in a different area, i.e.
it is not a 'let's make the numbers add up' type game. If that were the
case, we'd all be using VT100's off an aging VAX-11/780 and pocketing
the difference.
