Delete "clone" from the above sentence to retain any truth at all...

Oh, right. $5000. Sure, if you can run with no hard disk...
The prices for the workstations themselves are highly misleading.
Want a 200 MB external SCSI disk? $1700, please. A simple DIN-8
to DB25 cable? (required, to make use of either serial port on an
IPC) That's $40. Plus tax.

Overheard somewhere in a bunker in Baghdad:
- "Saddam, Sir, another bombing raid has hit the city!"
- "Hmph. Now we *really* know what that infidel Bush meant when
he talked about the 'Thousand Points of Light'!!!"
