The previous email was attached. It almost ended up in the same place the previous email did - my spam bucket. The subject was “CONGRADULATIONS: Open Performance Contest WINNER - Dave Hall Consulting - TBWEBI_<random numbers>”, which looked pretty spammy to me, just like the various bogus sweepstakes and the other 419 messages I get all too regularly.https://www.davehall.com.au/blog/2006/11/22/sun-sunfire-t2000-rev2-and-ubuntu-dapper-6-06/Wed, 22 Nov 2006 00:00:00 +0000https://www.davehall.com.au/blog/2006/11/22/sun-sunfire-t2000-rev2-and-ubuntu-dapper-6-06/A couple of months ago I received a shiny new Sun SunFire T2000. It is a monster 1 CPU with 8 cores, each capable of running 4 threads each (that is 32 concurrent threads) 8G of RAM and 2 x 73.4G Seagate SAS HDDs. The 2U case hides the power hidden away inside. Once powered up it sounds like a jet engine, but that is OK it is designed for the data center not a HTPC.
