Nah, you get a geek that makes shelving units from Sparc1s and easy chairs
from IPCs. You may also find an old VAX or PDP up on blocks in the front
yard - waiting for a coat of primer.
These folks might also get into impassioned arguments over Sparc vs MIPS -
as an extension of Ford vs Chevy. Most, will admit to making some sort of
simile between a 426 Hemi and some piece of computer technology, and that
"that were the best danged chip ever! I wished I could get a holda one o'
dem, why I'd drop that thang in my peecee and run a SETI job in under 12!"
