Bad trade for you.. the Sparc is easier to get into the dumpster.. :-) I had a friend who took home a nice Sparc10 server back in 1995/1996 in lieu of a bonus. Would've been a good trade if he'd just sold it.. instead, he futzed around with it and watched it go from Some $10K to about $10.. :-) I asked him later whether he'd ever done anything useful with it other than heat his front room, not to mention whether it was $$$ useful.... No.. pretty much nothing. :) -Brian > Bob Royal > ==================================================================================== > Tim Hammerquist wrote: > > >I have just about finished moving and am trying to clear out some > >unnecessary stuff.
