What do you need that isn't included with Sun's IPC? I swear, no money changed hands here... ;-) Seriously, you can get a color IPC for $9995 as Mr. C describes. You could also get a 7K monochrome system, which from what I have been seeing quoted in this news group is the same price as the 3000UX. I know which one I would choose if I needed an inexpensive UNIX box... but I may be biased. >James A.
