Tom, Here's a copy of our quote. The line items reflect special prices Sun was offering at the time to educational customers. In addition, there was a further 50% discount (Sales Allowance Request, in Sun jargon) that was applied because we purchased at least 10 workstations for our lab. Happy negotiating! Clint >Sorry to take so long to get back to you, but I have been struggling to >get folks upgraded to the latest ldm-mcidas release before I turn off >the delta-encoded images on Friday. Since you've been working so hard on this, how about sending me the pqact entries you've set up (I'm being lazy -- I haven't bothered to try to get the png images yet. But I have updated software and grabbed those derived products starting right when they came out!) >We are making a run at Sun to give us great deals on "big" servers that >we can install around the country.

Hopefully you can convince them to treat Unidata customers nicely! >OK, when it is up and running, and when you have caught your breath, then >we can revisit the GINI image access we talked about when you were in town >last. Okay. Just got quote on new power circuit yesterday. Still no graphics card. Take care, Clint ==================================================================== Clinton M.
