Hmmm, as Dave says, they're really suited to server type apps with lots of 
integer math. I believe there's a few coming up for disposal locally (UK-side) 
fairly soon as the support contracts run out (and the renewal expense isn't 
justified). I can't think of a good reason for having them, though [1].

[1] Although the bulk of the A3000/A1000 storage units which "belong" with one 
of our E6500 machines were kept back to be used with these, so I should find 
out what's happening about those purely in order to reunite them with their 
original machine.
