[OLUG] First sparc

[Trevor Taylor]

Well, I was looking for something a little more used than that. Somthing in
the sub $1500 range. I know I'm not going to get a nice system. I just want
somthing small to play around with, but powerful enough that I can really
enjoy playing with it.

Define "break the bank".  Sun has the Ultra 5 and 10 which are decent
machines that would out perform a P2 300 hands down.  I recently got a
quote for both :

Ultra 5S Server				Ultra 10S Server

360 Mhz CPU, 256 KB E Cache		440 Mhz CPU, 2Mb Ecache
256 MB Ram				256 MB RAM

The maintenance covers all parts and labor plus phone support.
Let me know if you are interested.

If you receive something that says "Send this to everyone you
know," PLEASE pretend you don't know me.

Oh, wait...he already does!

The first time Microsoft makes something that doesn't suck, is when
they start making vacuum cleaners.
