Re: [TCLUG:3331] Windows NT pricing

[serge@egel2.med.umn.edu (Serge M. Egelman)]

My guess is about $200 (Win98 full version) for each of the Win9x boxes and
probably another $500 for NT Server.  So that would be $6500 for 30 machines.
Not only did you save all that money, but they work better (or work period for
that matter).
