Re: anybody want an SGI box?

["Bob T. Kat" <bobkat79@charter.net>]

I might have two of those, missing power supplies, I'll have to check,
8-bit frame buffer that would be 256 color right? My sun boxes have an
8-bit framebuffer and I can't get more than 256 out of them (make good
text mode servers though), every time I start cde it reminds me of the
win3.1 day's when 256 was as good as it got, spoiled we are yes

 The suspense is terrible. I hope it will last.
