E.L.I. Systems, that company that sells Sun hardware at roughly 2x the =
going used price has listed Sparc 20 bases for $200.

In my opinion, the bottom has finally dropped off the SPARC hardware =
market - this is nearly a reasonable price - I guess they got a big =
stack of systems traded-in for upgrades, and no where to unload them. =
Corp. that used to build up nice little $500 -> $600 SS/20 servers are =
probably running towards the $995 Sun Blade 100 system (if possible - =
since the SB 100 is not SBUS)...

Just a note..
