Pecker Floor's Collection of Cruft

So, for some reason, we tend to tend to own a lot of junk. Actually, that should be clarified. There are certain floor members , who shall remain temporarily nameless, who seem to take delight in collecting as much old and seeming useless computer junk as is possible. Just in case you care, we thought we'd provide you with a list of it:

• DECStation 3100, named CRUFT.MIT.EDU, currently owned by Garry Zacheiss. Alas, CRUFT has recently become nonoperative in an incident which serves to illustrate that SCSI devices were never meant to be hot-swappable. Oops.
• A Sun 4/110, named PUNTIUM.MIT.EDU, which has taken up residence at the Random Hall front desk.
• Sun 3/50, named ARBITRARY.MIT.EDU, set up to boot off of FOOBARBAZ.MIT.EDU, a Sun IPX running NetBSD . and located on 2-282. ARBITRARY is owned by Dan Kamalic, who all would agree is the greatest cruft horder of all.
• VAXStation 2000, desperately in need of a name, recently acquired by Garry Zacheiss. If you'd like to help name it, send us mail!
• An Amiga 4000/040. You trivia buffs out there might be interested to know that Babylon 5 used to be rendered on these.
• A large supporting cast, including a Sun 3/60, two gorgeous SPARCstation monitors, 2 486's, 3 386's, and more assorted working SCSI devices than you can shake a stick at. :)

Does the thought of all this antique hardware intrigue you, excite you, or arouse you? Then stop by during Rush and check it out. If you're lucky, you may even get to watch us shaft some of the more broken and useless peices of it. Hope to see you there!
