I guess 'real Sun' equals 'SBus machine' here - as opposed to these PCish PCI/IDE Ultras or AXes, so it should include the Ultra1 and Ultra2 too :)
And what to do with old Suns - well, they're no good as numbercrunchers obviously, but they're mean database servers - MySQL on a 170MHz Ultra1 is just as fast as on my 300MHz PowerPC box, Suns are very good at handling heavy IO tasks without much CPU load ( thanks to SBus and DMA on almost anything I think)
