	Hmm Like the Bull DPS 6 running 24, 7 in my office currently. The replacement 
is now 6 months over due.... (The replacement a Linux based system...) 
	If it ain't broke why fix it? 
	The worst problem strangly is getting Linux to speak to the Bull, TPS serial 
drivers were not a strong point on the Bull. But otherwise It works quite 
well (our main problems are the UPS and the Air Conditioning...)
	Oh the reason we are 6 months late people is that keep adding new features to 
the Bull and the new system is chasing a moving target....
	Oh its in SE1.
