My Sparc 20 has been with me through many other relationships. She never got jealous of my other machines and she never once let me down. Her 9GB external hard drive enclosure and her Solaris OS were always there for me, and before she was mine she hosted one of the top 1,000 web sites in the country (of course, that’s back when a whole site could fit on a whopping 9GB external enclosure). She was my “old-reliable”. But alas, all good things must come to an end. There’s a chance that she would have lasted forever if I had her plugged into a better UPS. It wasn’t her fault really, it was environmental factors that caused her demise. She will be sorely missed. In fact, she’s been replaced with an OpenSolaris VMware guest OS on a bigger box that houses other OSen. The VM has the same name that she did…
