Now what I'm going to do here is, I'm going to tell you the punch line to this very funny joke, and you're going to have to fill in the rest for yourself. Ready? "It had only two megs of core, AND IT PAGED OVER THE NET!!" Bwaa ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!!! Well I thought it was really funny. After it stopped being true, that is. But seriously, diskless suns cause packet storms you wouldn't believe. Our network was straight from hell until we got local swap space for all of our suns.
