You'll never guess what I came across at a recent swap meet (just last
month, in fact)... I'd never seen PPC Solaris before, although I'd heard
about it, and now in one of these boxes in my apartment is a
shrink-wrapped copy of it.

What I didn't tell my girlfriend is that this means the Alphastation isn't
my last computer (don't mention that Multia that came in either)... now I
need a PPC box to run Solaris on. :-)

I'll keep my eyes out for extra copies; I know one of the vendors at the
swaps out here usually has a pile of Solaris boxes, and I'll see if any
more of them are PPC.
