On an OT note, I've been going over the numbers for a virtualization 
environment. It is interesting to see how the vendors are more-and-more 
pushing a "mainframe-like" experience for systems.  I just got a presentation 
by some vendor hawking the HP Superdome servers.

Looking a the seven-digit cost for these things, I'm not sure I see the value.  
This particulary when compared to a series of $20K servers that can also run 
some form of virtualization for lesser-demand apps.

Now back to figuring out my .jpg issues...
