U2's were arguably *too* good for Sun. The company I'm working for now
is only now just beginning to retire the U2's that basically ran the
business, and they've been fully depreciated for 3 years. We just didn't
need anything more for most applications. We've started replacing them
with V210's more to save space and power than because the U2's no longer
work.
