Hey now, My T1 is very nice. the only problem was drive space. Now I have
mirrored 18gb drives in the internal bays, tape drive on the external SCSI
port (note - Sun broke that out to a second controller). and I hung a A1000
off of a diff card in the PCI slot.  I can pack 2gb of ram in to it, and
the CPU is speedy.  Sure its not a database server, but it works fine for
my little hobby server (and I am a geek, so it does to alot of stuff).

and the "funky smart cards" are nice, unless you like prying off idprom
chips.  I wish they had them on the Ex500 boxes.
