I think I have a couple Ultra 5 pizza boxes here slated for the recycler, if
anyone wants one for their museum. Also I think there's a DS10L AlphaServer
if anyone misses OpenVMS.

To be fair, I've had Linux boxes over the years that have been just as
stable. The combination of the sun hardware and pretty rigorous
kernel/software testing was a sweet deal though.

Ah yes... the slowest, most stable operating system ever. Back in the day,
our email server ran on a Sun Ultra5 with over 8,000 accounts and

had uptimes in years. Our DNS server was also on an Ultra5 with Solaris
and
I think when we finally shut it down the uptime was over 5 years.

I have had nothing but good luck with refurb desktops from Tiger
Direct. You can get very decent machines there for $300.
On the other hand, we had two refurb laptops in a row that were flat our
broken. Not broken like "there's a cosmetic defect in the case," broken
like "screen does not function" and "keyboard does not function."
