I first came across those bad boys at university. Later on I had several generations of SPARC stations 4, 5 and 20 with 24 bit graphics. They were pretty nice to use and Linux had been ported to this architecture. Bus errors, oh the joy. Last Sun machine I had was an Ultrasparc Blade 2000 but finally left that behind for the amd64 architecture a decade ago. ARM will be next if it's more powerful.
