I recall some universities getting some very sustantial discounts on 6+ figure supercomputers in the 90s.. not sure if it was offered by Sun or SGI, but there was a string attached: the school had to agree that the machines would not be used commercially. Even at the huge discount, they were still pricey enough to tempt a school to resell time on them to recover some of the cost. _______________________________________________ opensolaris-discuss mailing list opensolaris-discuss@opensolaris.org
