RE: Servers Spreading Like Rabbits...

Not what I was saying at all.

What I was saying was that if you have to use wintel, you might strongly 
look at using IXS cards to reduce disk vulnerability, increase network 
performance, utilize iSeries backup media, etc.

                                 ...AN...
                                 ...AS/400!


I guess maybe it's just me that finds this really amusing...
