1 Sun Blade 1000
2 empty Star Pizza boxes
Look closely. Are you sure that those pizza boxes aren't old Sparcstations?
On to my list:
- Sun Sparc5 running Solaris 7
- Dell Latitude notebook (with docking station) running Win95
- Digital PC running Red Hat Linux 7.2
- Belkin KVM box which lets me use the same keyboard/monitor for all of these
- HP 2000C printer
- APC UPS
- Cabletron Hub
- Broken 36GB hard drive boxed up to return to vendor
- Dilbert page-a-day calendar
- Stuffed Dogbert doll^H^H^H^Haction figure
- Stuffed Easter bunny
- Acrylic sculpture of an alien landscape
- Lord of the Rings soundtrack
- Enormous tool box, which I have never ever used
- 5 coffee mugs. Why would I need five?
- M&M dispenser
- Plastic slinky
- 15 boxes of 10 CDs each containing archived data
- 10 more boxes of blank CDs. Go, burner, go!
- 10 O'Reilly books
- 5 Perl books
- 8 UNIX books
- 3 network books
- 2 Java books
- 2 JavaScript books
- 1 Visual Basic book
- 1 Oracle book
- Lots of old journals: Dr. Dobbs, S/W Expert, Performance Computing, Linux Journal, ...
- Hundreds of manuals, many for things which are surely no longer in use here. Time for a spring cleaning.
