Depends... I'd certainly do! But i'm collecting Sun3's, so my
opinion doesn't really count ;-)

One thing: From all Sun3's the 3/60 is IMHO the most versatile
machine. It is not too big but does a decent job as X-Terminal.
24 MB is really a lot memory for such a slow machine. The
3/60 can be overclocked substanitally (20-25% are reasonable)
and has a nice place for a small 3.5" harddisk, if you're
willing to heat up your solder iron. I've done so and it works
fine.
