Just to be fair to sun, I gather that what you get for your $995 includes a
fairly large stack of documentation.  Take the price that GNU (sorry, the
FSF) (for example) charge for media ($150 per tape isn't it?), and the kind
of price you pay for books nowadays, and it don't seem _too_ bad.

just my 2p's worth ...
