[NCLUG] free to a good home

[Mark Fassler]

Well, I was told that it could only run Solaris 2.5.1 (or older).  I 
wouldn't know though.  I didn't play with the Solaris side of things much.  

I tossed the monitor and configured it to use the serial port for console.  
I only used it over serial or network.  It still has the (optical) mouse 
and keyboard.  

Mostly it's job is to look really big and cool.  And gray and purple.  And 
it sucks up a lot of wattage and has a big, massive "on/off" switch.  
That's it's true value.
