   I've been chatting about porting Linux and other free Unices to the
   Playstation with some top manager of MIPS on the this year's CeBit.
   They liked the idea as a nice joke - just as running one of SGI's
   fabulous and expensive work- stations under a free OS.

Didn't he offer you some machine to do the port? ;-)
