Hate to burst your bubble, but if I had the $10,000 for a 3b2, there is a
whole host of other machines in that price range which provide more bang for
the buck, with a better version of Unix, too (Pet Peeve #123123). Ain't no way
that the poor old WE CPU in the 3b2 is gonna keep up with no 16mhz 
68020...
