I can stand up and jump up and down atop an Ultra60 or an E3500. Such
activity would literally FLATTEN an Ultra5.
Also, they're really, really slow compared to their contemporaries.
No offense intended, and I'm glad it's running well for you, but I'd never
go there myself.

Hello!
I see your point.
And be careful going outside to get the paper tomorrow. Where you are
will be hip deep in things we can't discuss here and now. But Corey
did it.
Oh don't tell me it's gonna snow again..
Well, it's been fairly warm here in Ohio so by Thursday it should be 20 below and a blizzard dropping 20ft. And then it'll be scorchingly hot on Saturday with a dust storm. Ohio weather is a strange thing not sure if PA's is as strange.
(Obviously I exaggerated a little bit)

Nope, no Ultra5s. They suck; I steer clear of them. I have nicer hardware
set aside for you.
This might explain those twelve unmentionables hanging around your

Is that why they're flat??

Hello!
And why do Ultra5s do that to you? Mine has been working rather well
as a webserver for a good many years. The only problem is that the
copper (phone lines) along the East Coast is in such poor shape so my
service provider can not arrange for either faster speeds or a static
IP address and a regular DSL line to support it. That's why (s)he's
been behaving like a grouch for the past few months.
However Corey there's your answer as to how I was able to retrieve
everything faster last week.
It turns out the file also wasn't 14M and that du -h lied to me...

Oh okay. They are bookmarks because they are reminding you about what
you're planning on sending. However you did suggest (or imply) that
the selection would be related to the fellow I already own.
Oh, no, we miscommunicated. I owned an Ultra5 for about four hours,
fifteen years ago...haven't gone near them since. Related to, though, yes.
Now as to your friend, afraid I don't. I know a Susan Foreman, and a
Sarah Jane Smith, but not your Stacy Smith.
'Tis a shame, she's great. She's in the DC area, where I used to live.

Stacy. She's awesome. It's sad that we've mostly lost touch, but our
friendship is one of those where we can not talk for a year, and then catch
up when I'm in town and it was like we were together the whole time.
If you need to find a home for any of those truckloads of hardware, I'm
sure you'll find some volunteers here.
I have some hardware that I'd very much like to send on to better homes. I
have some Sun Fire 6800s here. Glorious machines but surplus to my needs.
Want some?
