I really do wonder how many Sparc sun4m boxes are out there.  Or even
sun4d or sun4c.

They're can not be many.  Heck, I used to have a Sun SPARCServer 670MP
tower only a few years ago and it was really old.  Still worked and
ran Solaris 2.5.1 just fine as well as WABI for Windows 3.1 emulation.
 My current Sparc 20 still runs just fine and it may never die.  Its
role is just testing however.

Should I toss it into the rack and give everyone a login?  For testing I mean ?
