I take it you've never worked on SGI workstations.
They like to
I touched one about twice, and that's about all I've done :^)
We have staff onsite for maintaining our Suns. The
only workstations
we have onsite staff for, and its not because of numbers. In our Sun
labs we always have two spare workstation to handle breakdowns. We
don't need to do this in our HP labs. Unfortunately the number 2 is
a bit low, but we don't have any more extra space in the Sun labs.
Hmmm, the only problems I've ever seen is a hard drive dying on a *old*
system, or problems with RAM on that same system, the rest just seem to
run. We've got everything from Sparc 2's to Ultra 2's, though these days
we're mainly Ultra's for what Sun's we still have. We prefer Sun's, but
have a *very* hard time getting them. HP's are a piece of cake for us to
get.
