okay I can finally show off these things- Sun SPOTs, weird little java on metal microcontrollers from 2005/2006!

@penny They look much more entertaining than the 15k's we operated back then ;)
@SaThaRiel what were those?

@penny Some big beasts ;) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sun_Fire_15K

But honestly, compared to the IBM multiboard/multicase servers we had, SUN always lack stability and felt "braindead".

@SaThaRiel ah yes! Sun mostly has my affection because they made enough unix hardware that I can afford it on assistant manager wages
