From what I understand, the volume shipments of the SS 1 aren't really
expected until October; one reason that Sun is expecting a loss - lack of
revenue during the ramp-up for all of Q3.
I gather that their HP mini got really swamped with some of the stuff that
they just implemented, and the Amdahl that got installed isn't fully
running yet. Must have been a big problem to have had forced such a rude,
immediate switchover
