Just out of curiosity, what sort of street prices are we talking about 
on the 3850 series?  I know the answer is "it depends", but what's the 
general ballpark, say for government or educational buyers?

Anyone got a good feel for what the Brocade, HP, and Juniper competitive 
models are?

Thanks,
