I *might* be able to convince my boss to let me loan out the five or so
Ultras we have here as doorstops (Sun gave them to us for testing an
animation package, but it was obvious after a few weeks that they weren't
anywhere close to usable for production work).

If there is interest in this, I'd appreciate it if somebody would contact
me privately with some details of what would need to be done, where the
systems would need to be located, how long the port might take, what I
can do to assure my boss that the machines will actually make it back
here, and anything else that might be relevant.

Thanks,
jonathan
