And IBM and Fujitsu; they're the worst about it.  They won't even tell
you a fake price if they don't think you're worth their time.  Or
sometimes they -will- tell you a made-up price, like when IBM quoted me
$20k for one (1) 2.4GHz Xeon uniprocessor server with 4GB memory and 2TB
disk a month ago.

I -hate- that sort of suitly crap.  If selling product is such a damned
chore, close up shop!
