I have very few anecdotes past that; very soon after that, I bought a Compaq pentium pro, a thinkpad and a volvo, used NT and became a boring enterprise monkey.

I have very few anecdotes past that; very soon after that, I bought a Compaq pentium pro, a thinkpad and a volvo, used NT and became a boring enterprise monkey. I bought a massive fully stacked Sun Enterprise 1000E and storage array in 2001 in a crazy nostalgia trip. £500,000 of kit and I got it off yahoo auctions for £350 and it was only 5 years old. That's depreciation for you. It was noisy, made the lights dim when you booted it up and wouldn't run anything other than old Solaris releases so it was used as a seat for a bit then sold. I think I'm out of anecdotes now :)
