I just got a PPro-150 for netbsd 1.2 .  It certainly runs circles
around the ss5-85.  What used to be a 1.5hr compile is now done in 25
minutes.

The other thing thats really nice is the better framebuffer.  Nice
16-bit color means never having to worry about two programs lusting
over the same colormap entry.  Even at 40% off, Sun's stuff is way
overpriced.  Time has marched on, but Sun hasn't kept up.
