Aah, the PowerPC architecture! Very nice! Remember working on the ibm P5 series, really nice machines with both hot swap and cold swap components, color coded for convenience. Great operating system, aix was solidly integrated into the architecture. Lpars and soft partitions, really flexible. And available too, we rarely rebooted the whole machine, in fact can probably count on one hand the number of times we rebooted it

Yep, the office has a p9 box and normally the only times it's needed rebooted is after a power cut.

Very solid boxes!
