That's funny, they seem to have changed their minds, then, since
back in June they were interested in selling it, but said "if
you're not a university, you probably can't afford it."

I have seen it *briefly* in operation, and I'm familiar with the
output, and it does look good.

I suspect they realized that so many people were interested in a
Sun-based system that it might threaten their contract typsetting
business.
