Define "around here". I have a couple color and mono monitors from
Sparc-1's that I could get rid of. Keeps them out of the landfill.
And before anybody asks, no, I would not even consider trying to
package and ship them anywhere.

Ummm. No. Ultrix-32 is not covered by the Ancient Unix License and
the last time I talked with Warren it was not available. Ultrix-11
is, but I hardly think that will run on a VAX. Of course, none of the
above precludes running Ultrix-32 on a VAX as Compaq doesn't seem to
care enough about it to even talk to anyone about it.
