It's a bit like the Sorceror's Apprentice. Every time he split a broom
in two with his ax to try and stop them bringing water, it became two
brooms.

In my case each time I think of upgrading one machine, I wonder if I
could build another with the castoffs. I bought an ultra 2 super-cheap
just for spares, but then I couldn't "kill it" so I ended up putting
more parts in it, so now I have two of those. Similarly I bought an
AXi based clone just to get some bits like the QFE card, raid
controller, graphics card etc, but once again I was loath to break it
apart so it became yet another fully working sun machine in my
basement. That makes it seven I think...
