	Unfortunatly couldn't be helped. Product they were using, and they
wanted to stay with, was bought out by $large_corporation who over the years
had dropped both linux and solaris support for the product, on the road to
killing it in favor of $in_house_package . The place paying for the work to
be done wanted to keep the old package, so to do so I had to move them to
windows 2000. I console myself knowing that at least a couple of the
orphaned sparcs are going to find a new home at my place. Damn conflict of
interests....
