Except the CRTs in them are uniformly poor and fade horribly---if they
don't go fuzzy first. We've got about six thousand (or so it seems) piled
up in the corners here. They're awful machines. It could be amusing to
make a high-speed switched backplane to plug the CPU cards into to make a
SPARC/Linux Beowolf cluster, but beyond that.. eugh.
