Have people heard; The Sun 3/50 list price just dropped from $7900 to $5000.
Folks with volume discounts  can get them for less than $4k.
The Sun 3/50 includes:
	68020
	68881 FPU
	4 Meg RAM with high performance MMU
	Ethernet i/f (Thin ethernet tranciever included)
	1100 x 900 66hz Bitmap display
	
Of course you still need disk (a large one compared to PC's) and you need
low cost application software, something definatly lacking in the SUN world.
