The April 1 issue of Digital Review gives some information on a trade-in
deal for their new workstations. They're offering $4500 credit for a
DecStation 3100 or Sun SparcStation II.
In the past, these credits were offered on a pre-discount basis. Thus
your tradein savings were diminished proportionally to your discount.
So say you get a 20% discount, and you trade in. Here's how your prices
would look with discount applied before and after:
$11,900.00 $11,900.00
- $4,500.00 *.80
---------- ---------
$7,400.00 $9,520.00
*.80 - $4,500.00
---------- ---------
$5,920.00 $5,020.00
Almost a 20% difference! At a 40% discount, it's a much bigger difference.
So what's my point? If you are considering taking HP up on this deal,
drop me a line. I will give you $4,500.00 cash for that SS-2. Email
