thanks for piping up Jeff. I remember our conversation re those boxes, but
didnt wanna mention your name on the list and get you bombarded with emails
;).

Can ya do us (ALL) a favor and post the URL of that company you get those
cheap servers from to the list?

Like a kid that needs notes pinned to his shirt, I lost that url that you
emailed me in private.

If you dont feel comfy posting it to the list, if you could email it off
list, I would appreciate it. I am most likely to use a pengun box for the
additional power, but might get one of those to save a buck or two.
