SPARCStation 5 and HP 9000 (not my photo)
This is a similar setup to what I had on my desk when I worked at Cadence around 1992/93.
I actually had a SPARCStation 10 and a HP 9000 sitting side by side.
I loved the SPARCStation and hated the HP 9000.
Compared to SunOS (based on BSD Unix) running on the Sun the HP running HP-UX (System V based) was horrible.
I hardly ever used it. Apart from anything else it took ages to boot up.
I had used HP minicomputers before and liked them but I never used a HP box after the 9000.
I remember running Gopher, WAIS, Viola etc on the SS10.
I also downloaded and compiled one of the early copies of the Mosaic browser on this machine in 1993.
Another thing I did on the SS10 was to follow along with the World Chess Championship in 1993. I scraped move information and fed it into a copy of XBoard (on X Windows).
