Apparently SGI hadn't bothered to send Coukos a new price book. The new
price book does indeed say that Indy's like we've been ordering them are
no longer available with 1GB drives. It's 2GB drives.
Coukos understands that we need advanced notice when this stuff happens.
He and Dana Decker out in Mountain View are committed to keeping us
better informed of these sorts of changes, just like Sun now does.
Our plan to get the first of the 2GB Indys here and watch carefully when
it installs is the right one. Mark Virtue says that the disk
partitioning should do the right thing without modifications.
