Indeed, if our Suns actually diabled the broken hardware when they
died, fell over, and rebooted themselves, I'd certainly praise them
to heaven. But I have to say that the really very good reporting of
failing memory has saved me some headaches.

I seem to have hit a bad batch of Dell hardware recently, which makes
me second this opinion.
I should say, also, that my initial experience of AIX has been
extremely good. I can't comment on the fun it might involve in the
long haul, of course.
