   It can't?  Does some sort of silicon rot affect hardware up there or 
something?  Seems to me they're capable of the same work now they could 
do when they were new.  You mentioned an O200 in particular...I know of 
about two dozen of the former and a dozen of the latter running in 
production at many companies.  As recently as six months ago, my R10K 
Indigo^2 was paying all of my bills.  And I have, erm, bills that are 
larger than many. ;)
