[ILUG] Free SUN T2000 for sixty days - except for the Irish

[Eamon O'Tuathail]

I see from www.sun.com <http://www.sun.com/>  that SUN is offering a Sun
Fire T2000 (with the amazing 32 concurrent threaded Niagara chips) for sixty
days for free.

That is cool, both in the heat- and the street-sense of the term. 

 

However, what is uncool is that if you are Irish, you need not apply.

Ah well, I suppose we will have to explore the 10 concurrent threaded CELL
chip instead.

(yes, I know, they are aimed at different markets - but both are interesting
when exploring heavily concurrent code).
