As a datapoint, I have a Sparc IPC in production use (doing something
important).  This box is probably 10 years old, but the 25 MHz
processor, 16 Mb of RAM, and 400 MB disk is entirely adequate for the
two roles this server fills.  (I have spare sparc-5s to replace it if
I have to, though, but I really like the shape/size.)  I also have two
sparc 2s in my basement I was going to try 1.6 on when I find a little
Copious Spare Time.

If any sparc maintainers in the boston area need a 4c, let me know and
I'm pretty sure I can scare one up.  My earlier offer of a 4/100 had
no takers...
