they're nowhere near as fast as upa/creator is nowadays though :-( and
getting an SX card to do 1280x1024 is difficult. (1152x900 models are
a lot more common)

>(old Suns never die.  They just get shuffled around in the server room)

very true. as we decomissioned ss10s and ss20s, they got moved into the
machine room as they make good servers - and they have scsi rather than
IDE..
