$4995 is what a student pays as well.  The "institutional educational"
price is around $3300.  That's monochrome and no disk.  (You do get
thick ether, scsi, 2 serial, 1 parallel, mouse and keyboard.)  That's
also without a tape or floppy drive.  And, most importantly, it doesn't
include a RTU license for SunOS (and the RTU price doesn't include
a physical copy of the software or the manual set).

Whew.  Buy an A3000.
