- I'm a bit puzzled (only read wall street jnl so far).
-
- The price is $4k "in qtys of 12+". Does that mean the list price
- is $4.5k or so? What would the academic price be? ($4k with 40% off
- would be quite attractive at $2400).
-
- I don't like the 15" color screen -- would have far preferred a bigger
- mono screen. I do nothing with colour :-(
- Is there a 17+" mono option to replace the 15"? (Is the ELC still
- what it used to be?)
-
- Is Solaris 2 now standard with all these systems?
-
- -ans.
