Had 4 of these on the floor

-- started the linux invasion at previous employer. At the time (2001 or so) were pretty bleeding edge.

When we decommed it, because of data disposal rules, I spent 2 days on the floor, pulling 500G hard disks off the SPUs and binning them for destruction.

I also know two of the individuals that were bought into IBM at the time. They departed IBM around the time I got sold to IBM. One at least walked off with a decent package.
