Correct. Once they acknowledge/confirm a sale, you're laughing. If they then
refuse, you can get an order of specific 
performance issued against 'em; and/or press your credit card issuer.

The precedent is Parmaceutical Society of Great Britain v Boots Cash
Chemists (Southern) Ltd. (1953).

I'm trying to set-up a firewall for the impending rollout of ADSL in
Penzance. Can anyone point me to a good resource for firewall config in
SuSe?? - or should I be using IPchains etc.,

Here's a happy New Year offer for you ;)

I'm sure a few of you will have heard of this already since it has 
been going around a few MLs over the past week or so, but Sun 
Microsystems are advertising servers with "24 * 900 MHz UltraSPARC 
III Processors" on their website for less than eighty quid!!!

The offending page is here:

http://www.sun-catalog.com/partpricing.xml?site=GB_ENG&catalogue=FC&se
ction=FC_SC&item=FC_SC_CAT&group=2&id=688

This becomes interesting because the Sale of Goods Act, here:

http://www.lawnet.com.sg/freeaccess/SGA.htm

may be interpreted to suggest an obligation for them to sell at that 
price if you place an order before they get wise to their error 
(which will be soon, I reckon).

Have fun.  MB.
