True, you can get multi-user licenses from Sun, but they still cost 
money.  Why are we comparing 3000's and Sparcstations anyway?  It's like 
comparing a Celica Turbo to a Corvette ZR-1.  Sure the ZR-1 is faster, 
but for the money, the Celica is darn nice.  How much is a fully 
configured Sparc?  About $14,000?  Obviously, the 3000 is not a 
competitor tothe Sparc, nor is the Sparc a competitor to the 3000.
