No, Max, the saying is "If it beeps, it probably runs NetBSD". Sorry, but
there are some platforms you just need the beastie for. Like the vax.
Speaking of which, there's a Microvax II threatening to follow me home
from Rockwell-Collins salvage. It's the size of a large washing machine
and probably has less ram than a Playstation, but I'm still quite tempted
to donate it to PLUG as a benevolent curse for all the ambitious pluggers
to do something with. (5 bucks to the first person to turn it into a
Debian/GNU NetBSD/vax port site!)
Or maybe Mike Shuey has room for it in his dorm room. :)
Patrick, the prodigal co-op.
