True, but the average PC "manufacturer" sells a lot of PCs per FTE, many
more units/employee then Sun, and they don't have Sun's general overhead,
support costs, parts system, etc. to support.  Add to that the lower costs
of generic parts, and PCs become pretty tough competition for
Sun/SGI/HP/etc.
