another 3b2 question

[James Cummings]

	It depends...
	I know a fella bought a 3B2/400 with quite a bit of software and some
extra boards in it for less than $6K, but then our 3B2/700 went for $75K+.
It would vary wildly with the vendor (AT&T being somewhat higher occasionally).

	What you get should depend on what you want to do with it...if you're
really going to pound it; get the bigger machines with Multi-Processor options.
If you're going to do light duty, several users, you can get by with the
smaller machines (400/500).  Light is defined as word processing, e-mail, etc
<no big spread sheets or big bad data base work on stock machines>.
Heavy is defined as everything data base, spread sheet, compiling and running
several C programs, lots of news or network activity.  If you fall in between
get the Multi-Processors.
