- Well, before everyone starts jumping up and down, the $3995 price is quantity
- 12 ("because people will want to buy them by the dozen!"). Fewer than that they
- are $4295. Both prices are *non-discountable*. That means, if you're an edu-
- cational institute used to getting whopping discounts off Sun purchases, you
- won't get it on this one.
-
- The LX and 2000 *are* discountable, in the usual amounts.

- IPC/IPX, but the monitor is still quite large.
