After all the hoopla we've heard about the S80, I found this paragraph especially interesting: >As head of IBM's server business, Palmisano helped drive the success of its RS/6000 S80 line, among other efforts. New customers include FedEx Ground in Pittsburgh, which recently replaced two Sun Microsystems 450 servers with two S80s to support expansion of its wireless tracking services. "They're advancing the technology at an amazing rate," says Ken Spangler, FedEx's director of IT field operations. "As far as sheer horsepower goes, they've got it nailed."< ROTFL.
