- I recall reading something about Sun sweetening the pot for their delayed Sparc 10's; specifically,
- they were going to ship 2-processor versions to those who purchased model 41's.
-
- We've ordered several 41's and a 54 server. Sun Canada now tells us that the 41's won't be shipping
- till March and the 54 will be even later. Originally we were promised the 41 in September and
- the 54 by March. In the mean time, we've received sparc-2's with the understanding that they
- would be swapped for the new machines when ready. Moreover, we wouldn't have gone with sun if we were
- going to be without any machines for the better part of a year.
-
- When I spoke with my rep. at sun about the 2-processor deal, he told me that this applied only to
- people who had never received any machine. Is this correct? If so, it stinks!
-
- Any information would be greatly appreciated.
