Sporting or not, there is no real way for some of us to get at our machines
than to buy them. Obtaining a Sun seems quite impossible, save for buying it
from eBay. There simply seems to be no infrastructure for disseminating
workstations to the masses around here, unless you happen to work at Ericsson
or study at a technical faculty. I once bought a DECstation at 500 kr, but
when it broke down, my only alternative was to get one from eBay, but at only
half the price.
This is not only the case with exotic computers, but even rather plain
workstations, unless you happen to have contacts or the right
infrastructure.
