    Considering you're such an elite professional,
    it's amusing that you (allegedly) run OpenBSD
    on SMP boxes. OpenBSD doesn't support SMP.
    Hope you didn't populate the other 3 CPU sockets.

    Downloading the stuff from Sun is a real pain. Remind me to never ever buy stuff from Sun. Their website has to be the most anti-customer/user in the world. IBM's is so much better.
