Pointy hair 101

Somebody I know was just offered a SunFire 6800, free and gratis, on the condition that he take the Sun enterprise rack it's housed in as well (as shown in the photo).

Why?

"The rack doesn't match our new corporate color scheme."

I shit you not.

And, on a related subject, another acquaintance just found an SGI 1600SW LCD monitor (17", 16:9, 1600x1024, 24-bit color, .23mm dot pitch) sitting in a box on a street corner in Mountain View.  The monitor was marked as an engineering sample and not for sale, and the sign taped to the box said "FREE, WORKS".

Only in Silicon Valley....

I like what you've done with your layout. Changing the colour of the quoted text.

Don't forget all of the free Sun stuff we got because we were in SiliValley.

(It's dark and misty outside. Temperature inversion? And I need to figure out a way to actually sleep on Sunday nights.)
