Kap,<<<Intel is bombing 2-way server prices. $599 for a new (not a refurbished) server.
In today's Oregonian a half page add on page A8:

Gateway 6400 Server
Intel Pentium III Processor
933MHz (supports up to 2 processors)
128MB PC 133 ECC SDRAM
9GB Ultra 160 SCSI (7200 rpm)
Integrated SCSI, Ethernet and Graphics
HP OpenView Event Manager
3-yearWarranty
3-year on-site service.>>>

What makes this configuration a server? It doesn't even look like a PC. It doesn't have monitor, keyboard and/or mouse. It doesn't have any software to allow it to do anything.

I know a server when I see one. My 12 year old home schooled neighbor put together a server with a 386PC, Novell netware, NIC cards, cables and connectors and 3Com hub. This configuration (in the Oregonian) doesn't look like anything close to becoming a server.

What's the story?
