I for one would have to agree with alfred on this one. There are a lot
of old sun's sitting out there that ppl could be using. Ov course our
decision should be within reason. I think it was a good choice to not
support anything below a 386 on the intel side. We need to draw
the line *somewhere* but IMHO just working on Ultras will kill this
project. (Especially with the price of S5's lately)
