Whatever became of your obsession to own a Sun Workstation?
I actually owned one for a while, and SGI too.
SGI was my favourite hardware platform by far until MacOS X arrived. SGI's OS didn't get updated to grow with the times, and MacOS X did. So I switched from a mixed environment that had Windows PCs for commercial software (way too expensive under SGI) and SGI for my web serving and Unix client needs.
Now I'm all-Mac and happier than I've ever been with my computing environment.
