I have a Sun Blade 100 (UltraSPARC) on loan, running OpenBSD. I also used to have a Sun SPARCstation 20/71 but I got tired of that box and after building OpenBSD/sparc packages for three releases in a row I decided I had had enough of that platform. I very much like non-x86 hardware, but I'm not a collector. For me a machine must still be usable. VAXen, m68k machines, non-Ultra SPARCs, alphas < 21164, and other boxes in that speed range don't qualify. YMMV, I know people who very much enjoy what I call "museum hardware", although I have no idea what they actually *do* with it. > I know it's off topic again, but....
