Maybe they've (ISC) has changed their pricing policy. Back in September
of 1990 when I was Unix-shopping, the only package that came close to
what I needed (X11, etc) was around $1500 to 1800, if memory serves me
right. Esix was around $800. Yeah, it's "a little more expensive" :-) :-)
Do they now have more optional packages that make it possible to get
the basic system with just Xwindows (and not all the other stuff that
most home systems won't use anyway) for a lower price?
