Re: Anybody besides me notice?

I know where there are 4 beige (including a much valued one with the Malcom
Baldridge stripe) and at least 3 "very small" black ones with red
stripes....

Gotcha.

I couldn't really tell you.  From a software side, you might try comparing
PTF releases year to year.  Hardware, the only thing I can think of is
anecdotal.  I don't think there are any published numbers.  Heck, I'd like
to just have the number of beige boxes still out there.
