Well that's different, then.

Although, it's still outrageous in a way.  You must purchase $995, 5 users'
worth of socket seats, if you only need one running.  At least the sum is
nowhere near as surreal as what I first understood it to be.  :)  Okay, I
retract my earlier assessment of the cost of using 1020 connections to an
fP based server.

Now call me silly, but isn't a web site a perfect place for clarification
of things just such as that?
