Like the rest of the industry, our "book-to-bill" ratio at Sun has been
lower recently than in previous history; thus we have been catching up
on our backlog.  I believe some Sun configurations are shipped from
stock this month (i.e. there's no waiting list).  Check with your Sun
salesperson to get current delivery times on the configuration(s) you
want, before assuming that it will take a long time.
