The don't give away their hardware, because the make it to make money on it. They do offer discounts of up to 40% on Sun hardware and soft- ware. If you want a discount, join the Catalyst program. If you want cheap Sun hardware, find somebody selling sun4c's and sun4m's. If you want free Sun hardware, go to school. ;^) -- Where am I, and what am I doing in this handbasket?
