   Yes.

   It doesn't.  The terminals come with a stand, keyboard, mouse, 
mousepad, some useless documentation that appears to have been written 
by the marketing department, and [strangely] TWO power cords.  You'll 
need to find a monitor.  I'm running mine with a Compaq TFT5000S LCD 
display that works *great* with SunRays, and they're available cheaply 
on eBay...there's a guy in Canada who has a buttload of them for 
$179/ea.

   Go get one; you'll be glad you did.  The software is free.  If you 
can't find it on Sun's web server, let me know and I'll hook you up.
