Don,

With all due respect, comparing your little Intel box that is not a server
class box regardless of the software you run on it, does not have disk that
is rated for  real industrial use, does not have completely integrated

aircraft carrier to your sunfish personal sail boat.   geez........

Both can cross the ocean, but I only really want to try it on one of
them.....
