     I want to thank you for the incredible support and work that you do.

     It seems clear to me that testing anything on old Sun hardware is
     likely a waste of time. That hardware is for a museum or perhaps
     just a recycle pile. Experiments done on such hardware is a waste
     of time regardless if it works or not.

     I think a modern server such a the ORACLE S7 is a better direction
     wherein the work done has future value. Even the Fujitsu M4000 type
     machines are getting very long in the tooth.
