Not enough to be helpful. Seems like Dell could take their market?

Gene - I'm not familiar with them, but it makes sense to me as a technical trend. A well known technical Oracle writer I follow, has been claiming that many sites are going to big, main-frame type, 50 - 100 cpu, tera-byte servers, to replace server farms, finding them much easier to maintain. Highly fault tolerant, with redundancy built in, fairly virus proof and easier to secure, they would play into move away from desktop clients. Also, the constant pain experienced by sites I am familiar with, in dealing with viruses, is going to push this direction, too, I think. The virus thing is only gonna get worse.
