Heh - well, for a while there I found tons and tons of
older SparcStations - 5's mostly. I used to joke about
building an addition to my hosue out of them. But
lately Sun hardware has been pretty thin on the
ground. Sparcstations turn up now and again, but Sun3
or VME based Sun4's are nearly unobtanium, and I've
never even seen a Sun2. 

All this stuff goes in cycles, you have to take care
not to pass up on too much stuff before it's all gone.

Hehe - maybe a bit - but hey, different people have
different interests. That's what makes computer
collecting fun.
