(I did put this post on another newgroup, but I got no answer, so I
give it a try here ;)

Hello all,


I need your advice: I have at home a SUN U2, U10 and some sparcstations

20. You won't be surprised if I tell you they are a little bit old...
Beside using them a DNS server and for fun, I'm thinking about
giving/throwing them away... Now the question: would you say "No way,
such fine pieces of hardware do not deserve that! use them for <insert
option here>" or "good riddance, it only takes space and is waaay too
outdated"


so, what would you do?


Volus

Use them for backgammon servers and aquariums.

Put them up for auction to highest bidder(s) willing to pay
shipping. Keep one for yourself to use as a doorstop, boat
anchor, or memorabilia purposes.
