The most absurd quote I have ever had.

[sjl]

I have just come to renew the warranty (due in 10 weeks) on one of our Sun / Oracle 7110 appliances and had a shock on the price. I am starting to regret moving away from HP / Dell to be honest who offer differing and more affordable levels of support (unlike Oracle’s one size fits all). It’s been fantastic kit, good build quality, excellent performance for the price and we have had no issues over the past 2 years but these service costs are going to make them very expensive over their lifetime.
