I think it should be noted that the quoted prices are (I think) list prices.
At least at this institution, DEC has been willing to give substantially
better educational discounts than has Sun.  This makes the price comparisons
somewhat different.  Thus a "your milage may vary" statement should have been
added to the posting.
