SPARC for $995 -- 4:07 pm CST, Update by A.T. Hun

Yahoo News is reporting that Sun is planning on selling a SPARC workstation for $995. Here's the specs (specs on a SPARC--I kill me!):
Prices for the Sun Blade 100 workstation begin at $995. This entry configuration is exclusive to web orders placed within the U.S. It features the 64-bit, 500 MHz UltraSPARC IIe processor; Solaris 8 Operating Environment; 128 MB RAM; 15 GB hard drive; Sun PGX64TM onboard 2D graphics with 8 MB SGRAM; 48X CDROM; and a highly integrated I/O, including 10/100 Ethernet, four USB ports, and two IEEE 1394 digital video "firewire" ports.
Kudos go to Wraith for noticing this on Slashdot. I believe his exact words were, "GIMME! NOW!"
