Great pics. I do like Googles better -- high tech, yet crazy homebrew looking at the same time.

Last I read, they think Microsoft has around 250,000 servers and growing fast, Google somewhere between 450,000 and 1 million. Facebook just hit 50,000, I think.

Good Stuff Dave........ :ThmbUp:

I often wish I had been born later/sometimes earlier........but being born in the age where I have seen computers go from almost nothing to the kind of stuff we see today has been astounding.........and fun.

The whole thing is amazing to me. When I went to college I had a pocket slide rule. The kid across the hall from my dorm room had a 2 foot long one which he wore on his belt like a sword.
