How's availability outside of China? I'm not finding many of these systems in the US.

I've scrapped most of these systems years ago. Still have a aviion dual cpu board somewhere in the shed, probably doesn't work.

There's probably a few hobbyists that still use SGIs. Octeon is mostly commercial vendors, who could pay for all of OpenBSDs needs out of their fancy executive toilet paper budget. And there's one OpenBSD hacker who uses Loongson, even GNU cult leaders use GNU/Linux on Loongson instead.

Who still uses an 88K machine? I have the CPU board from a DG/UX machine, but the latest chips are from 93/94.

They could probably kill support and power for some of the "dead silicon" platforms they support. If the CPU hasn't been manufactured in the last decade or two, why support it?

Very few experienced programmers will have these beliefs. Addresses are the most fucked up personal information that we have to deal with. Names run a close second.

Over beers a few of my mates came up with a system like DNS to map a mailing domain for an individual/organization to a physical location. But after much discussion we decided it was just easier to let the geo-challenged to lease postal boxes with saner locations.
