I don't have a basement at all, actually.  One of the G1's is set up at a
friend's datacenter in San Francisco, CA.  The other is in a storage
locker in Poughkeepsie, NY.  The ES/9000 is in a friend's (several tens of
thousands of square feet) warehouse, along with a very old and very large
Burroughs machine, and the G5 is at the same friend's house, running as
his "do-anything" machine, since I wasn't doing anything with it.  It will
be repossessed shortly, of course, since I now am a significant distance
from there.

Peace...  Sridhar
