Good $diety man!  Are you being serious?

I just got a Sun U60/2x450 workstation at $work, and it STOMPS the 1Ghz 
HPaq workstation I had before.  And I don't mean 'slightly' faster... I 
mean there is *no* comparison.  Mozilla roars on the thing.  Code 
compiles whiz by.... yummy.

The U80 series is incredibly sexy, and provide you with an excellent 
computing experience.   If you buy it and don't like it, please sell it 
to me.
