- I agree! As far as I know, Sun still gives a bigger discount than any other
- company (educational or otherwise). Also, I know for a fact that educational
- grants are still available from Sun. Before flaming Sun for changing their
- discount policy, consider the economic situation. Compared to what other
- companies are doing, Sun seems to be handling the situation very well. `

- I would like to know where this information came from. If it's true, talk
- to your Sun sales rep. We are still getting our normal discount which I am
- very satisfied with. This is not to claim I don't want more but rather I
- don't expect more.
