    Run a linux based isp with apache as the professionals do (?'cept in usa?).... Your website is not run from your tinsy / old / domestic / standard home computer... The files are uploaded to your isp where they have the capacity to process multiple "enquiries" simultaenously - I think....

    Hi Jim, alll's quiet on the eastern front - - I guess it is all the interest and confusion as to when the USA will fall in the ............................ over the failing fiscal sector...

    Quite a few lookers expecting to pick up a "mortgauge distress bargain" - - I can wait, no debt on one and less than 300K on the other. The way things are going (volatility and uncertainty) I may be waiting for some time.

    Lesser views and a 4 year old angular monstrosity went for 4.5million so my price looks reasonable as that building could be replicated for less than 3million and give far superior views and be above sea level even if all the ice/snow melted (worst case value is 70 to 80m) and would make the property (mine) a waterfront with deep water access.... :D:D:D

    My main computers are in the "hospital" both now run Ubuntu, but it is the hardware that is poorely made - everything seems to be made for the cheapest price in asia? - where is the Quality product - - - - Fcuk this corporate demand for high profit margins. - - - I want something that I can be confident will WORK when I turn it on.... This is part (the core) of the global fiscal collapse - - greedy CEO's and other brainless fuckheads wanting to maximise their current profit margins and no care for the future.... Execution is too kind of a word for these lowlife....

    Apart from a few (Sean Herron? - a man who seems to care enough to produce as best as is possible) where is the desire to produce quality and reliability in a good? - - - Is the only meaning of life a fast buck?

    Supermicro boards and boxes have been reliable day in and day out for me over the years... but at a price.

    Hi Jeff, Thanks, do you happen to have a link and an id on the ACTUAL manufacturer? (I prefer to use AMD mobile cpu for its ability to operate in hot climates)
