It must be nice. I keep hoping for something like that to come along ;-)

<possible new thread here>

I'll have to dig into a project I've been meaning to try. Our 
original "mail server" was a Silicon Graphics IRIS Indigo workstation 
serving local access. We gradually upgraded to better stuff taking along 
as much as we could. 

I later 'rescued' the SGI from the dumpster, as I developed an attachment 
to the IndigoMagick Desktop, and couldn't let the thing die an ignominious 
death in a landfill.

I still have it, but it was likely a casualty of basement flooding last 
year, so I don't know if I can resurrect it or not. It's possible I might 
still have some of the older Caldera list stuff there.

An interesting question: has anyone tried to resurrect a flood-damaged 
machine? I hate to have to finally bury this thing.

L8R,

Things are more like they used to be than they are now.
