Greg,

I had a similar conversation with someone concerning a dedicated server. With DSL in my home, I thought briefly about having my own server to host local sites for people. I spoke with a friend who does web hosting and she rents a dedicated server though a hosting service in Nevada for a couple hundred bucks a month. Unlimited IP addresses, total control, and plenty of space.
Of course it seemed more cost effective to simply buy a server for a one time fee then to pay this monthly rate.
But when someone else is responsible for all the maintenance, upgrades, reliability, etc., then the monthly investment suddenly seems like the wise choice.

Hardware = headaches.

X - Drive is simply ahead of its market like fiber optics, wireless, and b2b were last year. It's time will come IMO.

regards, brk
