The things you find...

Well, it appears our goods forwarding department have just found a crate.
It contained Sun workstations.
Sparc 2s.
The box had been there for 9 years.

Guess not even SUN wanted 'em ;)

That's kinda funny - going to the tip are they?

Unless someone decides to 'disappear' them in the meantime.

It's a long standing tradition in Cambridge (remember the old l0pht gang?) to rummage the tips at MIT for sweet geek bits. This is exactly how it comes about, I'll bet :)

Think they'd run Eve? ;)

[sobrique.livejournal.com]

They're sparcs.
No.

Even if they did release a sparc version of eve, they're also stripped down machines, that were only fit for trade in 9 years ago.

Unlike a PC of a similar age, they'll be usable. Just.

They'd be perfectly acceptable to connect to the interwebthingie and other similar activities.

I'm game. ;-) Always wanted a Sun.

If we get as far as 'ahem' disposal, I'll see that I recover you one.

I miss the old graphics labs...

Do you think they'd make good SINergy props??

[sobrique.livejournal.com]

Hmm, now that's a good thought....

at the very least, pcbs and hard disks are good props.

Rule #1 of disposal: Before you chuck it, ask yourself 'would that make a good prop?'

Oooh... I'd love one, but I don't have room for it... :-(
