The T1 from what we can tell would be slower than our Sun Blade 150, no? And T440 doesn't map to a valid Sun server/workstation model number. Did you mean V440?
Hi I cannot help but think perhaps you start looking to what's in the now and future, sure I understand your fascination with this particular facit of history, and I really get that, but there is so much ahead that is so exciting, maybe find something there that floats your boat.
Just saying, no drama, no criticism, .....just hanging it out there 😁
To be honest, hun, this is a depression focus project. All of our love for computers is dying, because all of what computers used to be, is dying. They used to be... alive. Equals, of a sort. Physical bits of hardware that if you had a scrap of empathy going you couldn't help but love, and physical bits of hardware that you had to take care of. You couldn't just throw them away and boot up a new one, or abstract computers out to this distant thing, your credit card and your code are inputs, and a web app and a bill is the output. We spent... 20 years, from the age of 5, working with computers, loving computers, real computers, and over the past 15, we have watched every scrap of love and life be torn out of computers, watched the cloud, and containers, and microservices and "serverless" and goddess knows whatever else come along and rip all the interest, all the fun out of computers. We have learned more C, learned more sysadmin skills, and had the best mental health in quite some time, ever since we got this poor little Sun Blade 150, all because she... she's still alive, y'know? Sometimes she doesn't do exactly what we expect, and we have to talk to her. Trace it. Find out why she won't build CMake, or why our linker wasn't able to see the shared library we wrote to implement the arc4random() function, or why she can't talk to her second hdd. But new computers aren't like that. New computers are... cold. New computers feel like techbros, efficient, focused only on requiring as littkle work for as much win as possible. That's why we've abandoned Linux on all our servers, because Linux no longer takes itself... we would say it no longer takes itself seriously, it's more that it takes itself too seriously, but the wrong kind of serious. Not the kind of serious that sounds like "we will spend 6 years working on this, you'll get the new version when it's ready, and not a minute sooner", but the kind of serious that sounds like Mark Zuckerberg waving his hands and techbro rambling in a bloody board meeting and coming up with some new scheme to extract massive chunks of money from people with as little effort as possible.
Update: Yes please very want. If that's fully loaded that would be perfect, but honestly even if it isn't, the base spec (1 CPU, 2GB RAM) would be a hella upgrade over this little dinky Sun Blade
