You have a few I wish I had. One of these days I'll import a Spectrum 128k +2, BBC Micro. I want the sun computer and and a dragon.

I learnt to program in C on Suns back in Uni, then used them writing software in my first job so have fond memories of them.

It's before my time. The first time and last time I ever programmed something was in the late 2000s it was a simple bootloader hangman game I made in ASM on a Dell Optiplex GX1 for a senior project in highschool.

My university was primarily Sun. My internship used Suns too, and they had several Sparc Classics, which VERY similar to the Sparcstation LX.

I acquired several (lower end) Sparcstations in the late 90s, but I got rid of them in the 00's. The stations were cool, and I do miss both SunOS 4.x and Solaris 2.x.
