Not quite, it's $1500 LIST trade in (gets discounted with everything else) and
you HAVE TO send back the 3/50. It gets sent back in the sparcstation carton,
gets an RMA number, instructions on how to modify the carton's foam to protect
the 3/50, etc.

I too am curious what they (or sun with the 3/50's) do with them.
