I understand why it doesn't fit the immediate requirements, but I am feeling a sudden urge to speak up in defence of SPARC lunchboxes :) I have a SPARC classic in a very remote and cramped colo which is dropped and powered off semi-regularly. The temperature in the colo exceeds 40C during the southern summer. The machine exchanges about 5000 mail messages per day which, although not a huge load, is enough to keep the disk heads moving. And I've never lost a single bit of data :) Joe
