So, I have, like, four of these Sun beasts.  I only got one running, and
even then figured that it was sort of silly to run a machine with a 15
amp nameplate 24/7 just to prove that I could...  So, they are set up
around the pool table as benches.

One day we had a party at our house.  Some guys were downstairs playing
pool, and one asked, "What are those things? Space heaters?"  

"No, actually they are worksta-" I started.  Then the complications of
trying to explain all this became apparent to me.  "Er.  Yeah.  They're
space heaters."
