We've got a bushel basket of 64 bit machines here, but I am too lazy to fool
around with them.  Some of them are basically paperweights (not even plugged in
most of the time).  Others are pretty active (The IBM and Alpha machines).

We have Silicon Graphics and HP and all sorts of stuff like that.  The older
machines don't really impress me much.  I did a few experiments some time back
to see how they would perform with chess programs and they don't really knock my
socks off.  Slow clock rate.
