See, this is a tough one. The whole point of NetBSD's
portability to me is that obsolete or hardare just
sitting around can now be used. I daydream of the day
that Dreamcasts cost $10 on Ebay and people can use
them for compile farms or whatever, or just plain a
cheap "PC" to hook up to the TV for people that don't
have the means to buy a "real" computer. And the same
goes for the rest.

Now, if the question is "What platform do I buy to get
the best price/performance/reliability?" The answer is
almost always Alpha (as far as I'm concerned).
