Re: FW: more on ultra5's (fwd)

We've gotten a few of these and they seem kind of crappy for Suns. They're
all IDE based for one thing. They just don't seem as stable as they should
be.  Look at it this way, how much PC hardware could you get for $2k (I'm
figuring the monitor is about $1300)? These are basically sparc based PCs.
