I'd like to add my vote for this kind of format.  Plus can someone make an
attempt at documenting the Sun internal codenames, pre-FCS model names etc, for
example "tazmo" = A26 = E450.  There are also some amusing stories or history
that go with some of the internal codenames like the "Happy Meal" and "Fresh
Choice", while this may not be the right place for them, does anyone know if
they are documented anywhere?
