FYI, I know this is off topic and everything.
I have learned one thing. Use caution when posting to the list that you
are looking in to a server.
Both this person and "Jim Leppert" <jleppert@r2-tech.com> have sent
me email saying "we will be happy to sell you some V440 servers". No I
will not be using either of these vendors ever for anything, using a
request for help to make a sales pitch is worse than spam, and hopefully
the list admins will ban these two sales people from the sunmanagers list.
If you post a message asking for input on a particular server, be ready
for the sales dweebs to start attacking.
