In my spare time (HA!), I've considered writing a book called "1001
Things to do with an Old R-1000".
I've already got:
	Doorstop (for Castles and Mansions)
	Doghouse
	Convert to a washer and dryer
	Put an Apple sticker on it and call it the Quadra 400000 :-)
	Paint it black and call it the "NeXT Mainframe"
	Boat Anchor
	Spare bedroom for the mother-in-law (my favorite! :-)
	Cut a window in it and tell the kids it's a new big screen TV
	Paint green and sell to military as porta-potties
	Put wheels on it and run it in the next soapbox derby

Do you want me to go on? :-)
