They are offering the same deal that Sun offers direct except

I do not have Solaris 2.1 yet, but the beta appears to be faster than
4.1.3, running on a Sparc 10 model 20.  I am hoping for the real 2.1
soon.  This is just me sitting in front of the machine, no hard numbers.

Hmm, does this include the 424meg drive?

I just got a quote from MAX computer is State College, Pa. for
$4515 with the 424meg drive.

Your quote seems considerably more reasonable.  Does that include installation
of Solaris, or the Media Kit?  How about the cheap items like the 3.5" drive
and the serial splitter.

The funny thing is that the local Sun office here sent me to this store, saying
that he could give me a better deal that the Sun Office.  And, the computer
store told me that there were no deals for students.

Apps such as??...

Many people using the Internet will answer: all the GNU stuff, which seems to
be porting fairly easily.

Are you thinking of particular commercial apps? Which ones? I think many
people would like to know which apps are really popular out there.

I find it more interesting to know which hardware manufacturers are supporting
Solaris 2. I know that some do already. Solaris 2 really makes SBus add-ons
easier. That is only 1 of its *advantages*.

What's so special about this offer?  $4,295 is the standard Sun quantity one price

It rather prefers that's it's customers loose their time and money makeing
their programs to work under SysV and re-writing from scratch applications that
were unfortunate enough to use interfaces that are no longer supported. 

Was it any cheaper to release Solaris?

Maybe because it's slow, needs 200M of disk space and comes without C 
compiler, which makes it remarkably close to MS-Windows.

The 15" Monitor is from Sun - sorry, I don't know the manufacture.

The 15" Monitor is only available on the SPARCclassis.  The smallest
on the LX is 16"

The 15" is 1024x768 @ 76Hz.

The Sun monitors all uses Sun's 13W3 monitor interface so that the
system will transparently configure itself for the correct parameters
when any choice of monitor is connected.  If you found the proper
adapter cable, you might get a multisync monitor to work, but I haven't
tried it yet.

The LX is 1152x900 by default, but you can add a 1Meg video RAM option
that can enable 1280x1024 or 1600x1280 or 1152x900 double buffered
(cool, I ordered one but haven't received it yet).

  For the same reason people prefer 20-year-old technology (Unix) over
more modern ``New Technology''.
  Seriously, though, because they have an investment in it. 

  And some of the old technology isn't that bad.  A company I worked
for reverse-analyzed their old proprietary product before starting a
Unix project because there were so many sucessfull, elegant ideas in
it.  
  We've taken to calling the oldies-but-goodies ``legacy systems'',
