[rescue] quiet SPARCstation

[Michael Schiller]

Bill:

See if there's an old fashioned typewriter repair shop near you. They used to sell
rubber mats to go under a typewriter (to make it quieter) that are basically
slightly thicker than a modern mousepad, and without the cloth cover, but
otherwise the same stuff (in a larger sheet).
