[SPARCbook] [aftermarket sales]

[Hatle, Steven J.]

All,

Paul also took care of me when I needed just one drive sled for my
Sparcbook. 

It would be a lie if I said I didn't wish Tadpole would put up their patches
for free, but I certainly don't begrudge them the right to charge for the
software they have developed and that they need to support. 

My SB is running great with Solaris 2.6 and the patches freely available
from Tadpole. I have no burning need to go to anything higher than that, so
it's not a big issue for me, I guess. If I did just have to have the patches
for something higher, I'd suck up and pay for them. It's a "cost of doing
business".

Steve

Paul,
    I took advantage of the offer for the drive sleds and it was a *great*
deal! I posted the results of my purchase here, but in case you missed it, I
advised everyone to get at least one extra sled, just in case they ever come
across additional/spare 2.5" SCSI drives. THe sleds were in extremely good
condition, and the price of $35/each was very fair. When I ordered, I said I
was in no rush, so whatever was the cheapest shipping was my preference... I
think my total shipping charge was well under $5 for all three sleds.

A great deal, and my opinion of your firm has only improved, the more I deal
with it...
