Ahhh! Thanks for that, thought I had just awakened in a nightmare... 8-0

Moore's Law has about overtaken Gigabit. It is cheaper than the other
when we consider cabling/switches/terminations in the budget. I just had
a quotation for CDN$400 a drop, not including switches, in a remote
location. At that price, 3 lines for Gigabit is way cheaper than ten
lines of 100 megabits/s. Real soon I need 10 gb/s to come down to Earth.
I also need OpenMosix and a few other packages to stabilize on AMD64...
If I am going to pay thousands for each server in the cluster, I want
them to go as fast as possible. Eventually, I will live in a world
without bottlenecks and retire. ;-)
