Hmm, yes the IPC/IPX are pretty cute, so is the LX, which I have running
here as the local FTP/www server. I have another LX which will soon be the
local firewall/router.
I also have a (small) pile of IPC's which are being slowly being consumed
as donor machines for parts for other sparc hardware.
For the family (users) facing machines I have a couple of Ultra 1's and a
dual processor SS10 as well as the usual smattering of i86 machines
running Linux and (sigh) Windows.
Guess which OS causes the most hassle :-(
