Yah, I'd thought about "X -query solarisbox" on a cheap P200 or
something with Linux and a nice graphics card. (Prolly could do it on
the cheap.) I have this *nice* old Sun 17" monitor though, and it works
*so* nicely with the SPARC5. :)

I'd like to remain somewhat pure, here. *blush* I like to keep Sun stuff
working together. Nice type-5 mouse, and I really like the Sun keyboard.
It has backspace in the normal PeeCee spot it seems... I was a
typesetter in a previous life, so I *do* appreciate a decent keyboard.

Typesetting machine I had cost me $2000 to add 256K memory to it! No
HDD. Had to reboot the machine to a special program just to copy
floppies and such. I actually miss that. Varityper was the company.
First one I had was electro-mechanical, second one was digital. The
digital one was a $40,000 unit new. Bought it for $250. Sold it for
scrap. (I'm sorry!) Strange turns in life sometimes.
