Yep, I love RS/6000s.  Where is that box again?  Don't know,  I haven't 
seen it in so long.  But I can still ping it.  People who have spent their 
entire lives on PC derivative hardware just don't know what their missing.  
I love my Netfinities/E-series,  but if I had to get in a plane flown by a 
computer, I'd pick the RS/6000 every day.

They were on sale? :)  Why do you need two versions of M$-SQL?

Holy crap!  Hey, I've been saying that alot during this thread. $1,500?!

>Ouch!  

Yes.

>I have providers chasing me down to sell it at $750 (circuit and ISP).  

And they have to chase you?
