Travel broadens a person. You look as if you have been all over the world.

I went to the airport to check in and they asked what I did because I
looked like a terrorist. I said I was a comedian. They said, "Say
something funny then." I told them I had just graduated from flying
school.

4x2 64 bit PowerPC CPUs with 8Gb of RAM on board each, and 5 Tb of disk
for less than $35K _is_ pretty interesting. And the storage is way cool.
All vendor rhetoric aside, I think Apple are onto something here, and I
wish them all success.

RAC licenses for 8 CPUs are also quite interesting pricewise.

The relative cost of Software licences for _any_ product running on this
configuration are quite interesting. We live in interesting times.
