This applies for every Sun made in the past 13 years also. I don't know
how many Sun NVRAMs are gone through my hands to replace the battery...

Who cares for the bang? It is a nice machine with nice features like the
Indy Cam and it runs a nice UINX OS. (I have never seen an other GUI
with vector icons that are continuously adjustable in size and this
feature is at least 10 years old.)
