I have a Sparc to sell if anyone wants to start playing around. Sparc 20 Model 51, 128MB, 20" Trinitron, 6.4GB SCSI, ethernet, Solaris 2.5 CD & Manuals, Informix Online Workgroup Server w/ 10 client licenses and web license), 2X SCSI CD-ROM, PC-layout and Sun-layout KBs, etc. Email privately of interested. Not "cheap" per se, but it is collecting dust over here. I am trying to get rid of it before the end of the year.
