Yep, a real Sun machine running Solaris 5.It has an optical mouse that requires a special mousepad with grid lines on it. The Web browser is - get this - HotJava 1.0. The whole browser is written in Java, and is slower than Netscape on a '486. The main Detnet page takes almost two minutes to render. The keyboard is amazing, tho... not satisified with Ctrl and Alt, it also has the Diamond key, the Alt Graph key, Stop, Again, Props, Undo... I bet you're all jealous!!!

Did you forget about < this >? Mine came with 2 keyboard/mice sets (one optical one not) and 2 processors. I finally got solaris 8. Every things cool now. I got another drive and im running full raid 5. Its definatly a badass database box. ------------------ Jim Bruer: I dont know.. fight mexicans or something.

Okay, now I'm jealous. An UltraSPARC! 64 bits of processing power! Woo hoo!Mine box0r is pretty damn slow. I'm just using it to play with another processor than x86. By the way, there are some Linux distros that are true 64-bit OSes for the UltraSPARC. I'm not sure if Solaris 8 is... you might want to look into it. |
