Peter, you saw the significance also. For the past few months I've been trying to calibrate the server market and haven't had a lot of success. With a lot of key players now focusing on e-commerce platforms for revenue and margin growth it would be nice to understand the opportunity. Lot's of data on the PC market, but not a lot on the server market. Many companies wanting to slice the pie. Hopefully DQ and IDC will start to report on that segment. Currently IDC includes WinTel servers in the numbers, (and I guess you could extrapolate from the difference in IDC and DQ), but the segment is much more than that. I really was surprised at the report of 27 million internet hosts in the US accessible through a DNS. Maybe you have some links to resources on this segment?
