Thanks. If I can't find something more 'appropriate' I'll bring the chicken
feces.

Hehe, funny you mention that. I was thinking of getting an IBM 4590 POS head
from a former employer and seeing about installing linux on that to. Would
need touchsreen drivers for it to be really cool thought. Whoops, forgot,
that's based on x86 architecture to. More feces....

I was looking on eBay for a Sun Ultra that might show up for not too much
cash. My first experience on *nix was on an Ultra 5. I kinda liked the boot
prom deal it had. Wouldn't mind one of those. :-)
