You got it... This is what we try to tell customers that are new to the
Sun Ray model. The Sun Ray device isn't "the computer". "The computer" is
the backend server. The Sun Ray is only the display device. Therefore,
you can see how these things can last for 10-15 + years when
all they are doing is displaying whatever is being created on the
backend server.

My wife and I have a vacation place that we rent out seasonally. Last
year we set up a Sun Ray 102 so that the tenants could have an idiot
proof computer to use. The cost of running the Sun Ray is about $2
per month and the cost of fixing user issues with it is $0.
Who cares if it's only 1280x1024 since its marginal cost is about
$2/month!

What do you mean "dig some old first generation Sun Rays
(two words, please) out of a closet". They're still in use
all around Sun.
In fact, in one large failover group here in the Bay Area,
here are the current live counts:
SR1:
625 P1
498 P2
140 P3
125 P4
57 P5
3 P6
536 P7
182 P7-170
Total 2166
SR2:
133 P8
301 P8-270
149 P8-FS
Total 583
Overall total 2749
The P1-P3 are the original models, and the total of those is
1263, or 46%. Those are all probably 8-10 years old. ;-)
That's pretty remarkable!
That is *fantastic*. Sun Rays are amazing!
