 BTW, if you're looking to get a good deal on netapp or emc kit, just
tell them you're leaning toward auspex, they get LIVID at the mention of
the name :D

yes i used this liberally in negotiations.

just this week netapps quoted me 75K to renew the license and 3.5k
per box for maintenance....they blanched at the thought of me going
auspex or doing fbsd pc's in the field.

i hate salesdroids
