Why not?  I do sometimes.  Mac and cheese is great.

Yes, I'm spoiled too.  A SunBlade 1000 at home, and a SunBlade 100 at work,
in addition to my Mac G4 cube here at home.  However, I could do what I *need*
to get done, just as easily on a SS1, if I had to.

None - my point was that people are almost damming them as *unusable* nowdays -
they're far from that.  In fact, I've got a SS1 packed iwth 64meg RAM still
sitting over at my old workplace (COMCO) that I need to go pick up, and play
with Debian/SPARC on.
