True, but that Sun chip (3/4 way down) really is a work of art.

I like how the general consensus of opinion is white ceramic is cool, 
and gold plated the best yet. Oh well, I've a few ceramic EPROMs but 
(x86 aside), everything else is bog-standard generic plastic. Too 
pedestrian. Could we have a bronze ARM, perhaps? How about it? Take 
steampunk to the level of board design instead of just fancy casings?


Best wishes,

Rick.
