My name is Dork, king of kings
Look upon my nerditude, ye mighty, and despair!
This is my latest acquisition. I figured that it was time to brush up my *nix skills, while simultaneously beefing up my home network. A co-worker had these sitting in the garage, and was only too happy to hand them down.
It's going to take a little while to figure out what's good and what's busted, and even more time to reacquaint myself with Solaris, but I'll try to keep a running account going. Unless that's too geeky to bear. Then I'll stop.
Equipment is as follows:
4 SparcStation 1
4 SparcStation 5
2 SparcStation 10
1 SparcStation 20
1 Sparcstation ELC
1 SparcClassic
8 External Drive Arrays
2 External CD-ROMs
3 Tape Drives
1 19" Monitor
1 17" Monitor
That's pretty geeky, yes.

Posted by: Matt on May 1, 2003 11:45 AMMatt- I can't heat my house with servers... yet.
Zomby - I've learned that it's sometimes better to not ask.
Andy - Why on earth would anybody steal 10 year old hardware? Why, in fact, would anybody but a geek want it?
Matt - Ok. I could see that.
