Or they might want a desktop office-compatible workstation over a
server that sounds like a couple of Pratt and Whitney turbines
spooling up ;).  These might (it was not mentioned) also have
Islandco's warranty, which is a definite plus.

I wanted an XP1000 for quite a while to replace my nice but aging
PWS600au, but I've decided to hold out for a DS10-600 or (faint hope)
DS15 instead.  (I've got DS10-L 466s but I need the slots for a
workstation).
