 I miss the days of Audacious Hardware Design. Give me a MIPS-powered
 Silicon Graphics box in some fever-dream color, Pee-Wee's
 playhouse-derived case design, and a kick-ass keyboard. Or a Sun Sparc.
 Or one of those industrial design looking IBM RS/6000s.

 In 2000, I ran a company off of a Sun Enterprise 250 - Purple, gray,
 big vents, a big door with a key... we replaced it with a bunch of
 white boxes running Linux.   :(
