They're pretty badass machines, but they take for EVER to restart, like, from a powered off state, hit the button, 20 minutes later you're logging in.

Unfortunately, 18 minutes later you gouged your eyes out with a fucking fork, so you can't see it to log it in.

Shame really.

--For the record, these machines aren't that great. Quad Power-4 (I think, the new one is Power, these might be RS6000), only 1.5GB of memory, 100% of which is being used, but they still shouldn't take 20 minutes to boot.
