Question: Is this a true donatation or is it a borrow type thing?

hmmm, I'll give my Sum Rep a call Monday and have them create a budget quote
 for me. =)
I was think the following: 
if its a borrow situation: maxed out Sun ENterprise Ultra 5s or 10s
If its a donatation: a entry to mid level Sun Enterprise 2.
SOftware: Solaris 2.6(patched), Java, Java Workshop and Java Studio licenses
Sun C/C++ compiler, Sun Cobol compiler =). 

 figure we coul dget them to send us a nice headless development server.
We could host all the mail/Moo/CVS, development tools, etc 
Probably mount AFS to. =)
Also the Java dev tools might make life easier.
THe C tools will be a nice compliment to gcc and the Cobol compielr 
so laura doesn't have to go into the 207 lab anymore. =)

>	9. BRIEF PROJECT OVERVIEW (one paragraph or 100 words maximum):

	The project is to create a free software Cobol compiler. =)

	I think laura or our tech writer(who??) needs to write this up.
	Not just for Sun, but for anyone who asks, try to get a nice
	systematic explanation.
