Hello, I know many enterprises wich are using older sparc32 as Servers and those Enterprises are not located in the 5% of rich countries in the world. I know some enterprises which run SS10 like a HiFi-Rack with attached Raid-5 Arrays of thirty 18 GByte Drives... Nice, because a SS10/20 will not die in Morocco, where the environement temperature is 20 degree higher then in Western-Europe. Even some of my AS400 (4 and 16 CPU machines) are working there without any problems...
