We've got a T500. It's a huge grey Unix box, about the size of two 19"
6' cabs. Ours has six processors on it (@ 60MHz I think) and a GB of
memory, along with a shed-load of disk.

Nice enough system for museum display (wonderfully made), and can still
do some useful work in terms of demos etc, but probably of less use to a
home collector due to space versus wow-factor.

cheers

Jules
