I have a sun 386i holding my screen door open right now... totally
thrashed, no parts, just the box and a fried board. the "[Sun|386i]"
logo adorns my kitchen lightswitch.

P.S. Out of curiousity, how "interesting" is
a 386i from a
collectability standpoint? I may have an opportunity to get one, but is
