- Depends on how well you can live without. Sun makes money on maint. On
- the odds, you can save manit, and buy a new station when the old one
- goes. With more than 3 or 4 you're way ahead. With one, statistically
- you'll still be ahead, but of course if you happen to be the odd one
- out, that's not much consolation. Software maint is prob. worthwhile as
- that does keep changing.
