I'm tempted to do that. myself, just to take a picture of it.
Does that mean the best way to accelerate a SPARC1 is to put wheels
and an Estes engine on it? (Remember the joke about accelerating
a Macintosh is best done at 9.8m/s^2?)

Try replacing the CG6 with a CG3. The scroll speed on a SPARC1 + CG3
is painful. I'd rather scroll text on a PET. If you need a dual-width
CG6, make me an offer. I have spares.
