Re: SPARCstation 5 - where to start?

That sounds like the place I went to - top floor is Unix kit? Actually, there
were a few other places with old workstations gathering dust, Sun, SGI, HP, etc.
Seems such a shame, as they were machines I'd have killed for at university, but
these days are languising unused for the sake of a few Man En. Great deal for
any comp-sci students out there...

No, this is probably the best used gear shop in Akiba.
They've got a notebook floor, PC floor, Mac floor, Unix floor
(lots of Sun and SGI kit, some IBM PPC, Alpha, and
sometimes HP kit, too).  A lot of this stuff comes off lease
or is just replaced by companies that bought it and gets
dumped into the used gear market because it's mostly only
of interest to hobbyist and small operations now.
