Wow. I just *got* an 800MHz box with 256Mb of RAM at work; the headless
Unix boxes have heaps of RAM but it's all eaten up by Oracle, and the
fastest of them is a 200MHz UltraSPARC.

(It's got so I use my home machines for anything that requires
computational speed or memory capacity. They're an order of magnitude
faster than anything work's got, and *they're* all over three years
old!)

It must be nice to work for a company that spends actual money on
its staff's equipment.
