Re: 270 quote

Steve,

You keep referring to the $8200 for Websphere but, as I understand it,
that's the price for your development toolset. The Websphere server (4.0) is
actually an additional cost, currently at approximately $11K USD per
processor.

As others have mentioned, the 1% lease deal with PID is your best bet, if
you're eligible.
