Sun's "standard" discounts for developers are 40% for anything Sun makes, and 25% on things they OEM -- like disk drives. These are from Sun list price; no other discounts apply. I think you have to join the Catalyst program to qualify for these discounts, but the discount can save you the cost of the Catalyst membership, depending on the system you buy. The discounts often do not apply to the very low- end hardware like the Ultra-5; Sun already sells these on much slimmer than normal margins. -- Where am I, and what am I doing in this handbasket?
