Not only did Sun appreciate SunHELP (and a lot of their employees visited
and used the site on a regular basis), they donated a fully-loaded T1000
system for me to run things on.  ~$8K (list price) worth of hardware.

I don't expect Oracle to give me anything but the finger, but that's not
going to keep me from trying to help people.
