RE: i5/OS value add in the web world was: More COMMON

Model 520 each additional i5/OS license:  25k
Model 550 each additional i5/OS license:  44k
Model 570 each additional i5/OS license:  59k
Model 595 each additional i5/OS license:  59k

Let's be more specific when attempting to bash the brand, please.  These
are list prices.  Even if you took the average of all 4, the 40k number
is still wrong - the price averages to $46,750.  But if you weight it
with how many of each model are sold, I think it'd be well below 40k -
sessions at COMMON have stated repeatedly that the 520 is the biggest
seller of all the models.

I'm no expert on i5 pricing, but I know that we got a 520 for a lot less
than this, including the interactive tax, which included more than just
i5/OS.
