*chuckle* What's really good about a SS5?  Folks who don't know sparcs
might be suckered in by the big screen, but unless you have a ffb in the
machine then X performance is going to blow chunks.

The SS5 is the bottom-rung sun4m.  It would make a decent headless server,
performance about on a par with a 486/120.

Nice try, though.

I don't think attempts to gouge TLUG members are topical for any of the
lists.
