I don't know what kind of pricing arrangement it is, but apparently, they're selling a "complete" machine for that price. -- Phil Windley | windley@cheetah.ucdavis.edu Division of Computer Science | ucbvax!ucdavis!cheetah!windley University of California, Davis | Davis, CA 95616 | (916) 752-6452 (or 3168)
