Yea, that's like saying:
'By the time you rebuild the engine in that Porsche, you might as well have 
bought yourself a new Dodge Neon.'

Sure, you get a new system, but look at what you're getting!
It's the same thing as the Packard Bell ^h^h^h^h^h^h ultra 5 for goodness 
sake.  Creepy castrated processor, cheesy disposable disks ( "Yeah, but IDE 
is virtually as good as SCSI for a Single-User Wintel - oops, I mean Unix - 
Worksatation usage" - Yeah, right.  That is until you have to replace the 
disk once or twice.)

Please... the reason we have to put up with this kind of crap is because the 
idiots of the world buy into it.  And when we buy (into) it too, it's not 
Compromise, it's Capitulation.  

If Bill Gates were going to port Windows-XP to Ultrasparc, it would be on 
the SunBlade 100.
