Yep. Just wanted to make that clear :-).  I do agree that the X1 is kind
of a piece of crap, thats why I invested the extra money for a T1 for my
*personal* use at home. (as soon as I get things cleaned up, I will take
a pic for the personal datacenter collection).

and as for the SSP - we looked at that. the only issue is that sun wants
you to buy like a $12000 package.  I mean, come on. How many of you use 
the tape drive that came with your SSP package (and on your desk does not
count :-)
