Here's a blast from the past: A rant from 2000 on crappy old Sun workstations.
Yep, you can tell I've worked on one too many Ultra 10s in the past few years.
Why PCs Suck |
Why Ultra 10s Suck More |
- one-piece sheet metal cover that is difficult to work with
|
- one-piece sheet metal cover that is difficult to work with and is also installed upside-down
|
|
|
- PCI slots that don't line up
|
- PCI slots that don't line up on an upside-down riser, working against gravity
|
|
- unreliable floppy drive with the activity LED covered
|
|
- low-quality cooling fan with proprietary connector that can only be purchased as a part of a larger assembly
|
|
- Ultra 10 RAM sucks, but costs more
|
Lest we look back and remember Sun workstations fondly...
