Well, just as I suspected, I don’t get a fair shake, and can’t get a system to actually participate in the offer put forth by Sun a few days ago.
This is ridiculous. They make what appear to be impossible claims (to me), and then say they’re willing to put the server to the test, but only if you “qualify”.
To quote:
We are sorry, but we have been unable to approve your application for the Sun Fire T2000 CoolThreads server in Sun’s Try and Buy program at this time. This is a result of your application not meeting one or more of the parameters for Sun Fire T2000 CoolThreads Try and Buy Program.
Since he’s closed comments on all his posts, he’ll likely never see my complaint, and my point - I’ll probably NEVER recommend Solaris or Sun hardware again. What does Sun think we are? Donkeys with carrots on a stick?
Heck, I’m all for a revival of the OLD meaning of OSF - Oppose Sun Forever. Hell, I should have stuck with it.
