- 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!
