I ruled out IBM (non-PCs) because of software and some
unusual
hardware choices, DEC due to hard-to-find hardware parts on VAX
and the highly confusing mess with Alpha
How are IBM machines any more unusual than Sun - POWER vs. SPARC? Or
POWER vs. MIPS for that matter?
And how are DEC parts hard to find? Ebay, as well as more than a few
reasonable resellers (some on this list)...
And why be stuck in the UNIX world? Hell, once a machine is running a
Unix variant, they all start to look like every kidz Linux machine...
