That's a great field service scope and was the standard at DEC.
I'd have killed for one at 3 to 4 times the price.

Tony -- it's probably that he got it from a downsizing company rather than a
reseller that buys them up and marks them up.
I saw the same thing at Concurrent Computer -- but I couldn't get them
to let me get one of the 465's and the resellers marked them up from $50
to $400.
