Yes, -=certain=- CPU modules suffer from severe e-cache problems, but
the vast majority of Sun systems (SPARCstation 1 through Exx00 systems)
are rock-solid.  Contrast this with our IBM p660 systems with the
exploding power supplies.

Yeah, 148-days of uptime isn't impressive, but you have to install
patches -sometime-.
