cheap
cheap to use and inxpensive to run.
What the heck are IBM, HP and the like up to, $3000 servers if only I had known I wouldn't have thrown away my commodore 64, it might even be usefull as a fire wall or something.
Quick by all the trs-80's you can find and auction them on e-bay while the getting is still good and you can make a few extra $'s
quite cood and quite fun, a little polish an their sale pitch and people will be banging down there doors.

Re: cheap
That gives me a really good idea. Let's go to the auction buy a lot of like 100 of them and setup a cluster farm in my room!phpScott wrote: Quick by all the trs-80's you can find and auction them on e-bay while the getting is still good and you can make a few extra $'s
We take our web hosting very seriously at humanclock.com, therefore we have installed 4 "AA" batteries in the webserver in case of power failure. Whereas some battery backup systems last for only 20 minutes and cost hundreds of dollars, our power backup solution lasts for 20 hours and costs $2.49, (due to it being double coupon Tuesday)
LOL! That's scalability! Wow! Someone try that with IIS...

This just cracked me up. Totally. Almost swallowed my tongue.The storage media consists of a single TDK type I cassette tape. The "Rigid-Construction cassette mechanism" gave our IT deparment an overwhelming sense that it was 65 cents well spent. We estimate that roughtly 4 gigabytes of data can be stored before we have to turn over the cassette and record over the side labeled "Kick ass Toto mix tape".
