In the last couple years we've gotten about 200+ I think at our site alone,
don't know the exact number.

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.
