Right now I'm moving a bunch of Sun hardware and it hit me. What good

I won't ask this about my two SGI O2's, as
they're artwork.
I have three O2s that haven't been switched on in months or probably a
couple of years. OTOH, my workshop machine is an Indy, and the other
Indy runs 24/7 handling all our mail, print queues, and some of the web,
and a few low-demand things like NTP. It used to be most of the
filestore too, but 9GB x 2 doesn't even come close to a not-too-new
laptop in capacity these days.
