    Here's a Contiki web server on an Apple IIe... It's even serving the pages off a floppy.

    A 10 year old Mac is useless today

    Fail.
    I have a second-hand Mac made in 1996 running 10.4. Granted, the processor was upgraded in 2001, and I needed to use XPostFacto and some 3rd party software to utilize the onchip cache, but if you can customize XP (btw, almost no one does this anywhere near an expert level... though I did aquire a Stripped to the Bone edition, but not for running on legacy hardware... for modern PC hardware and Mac VMs), then Mac users can hack their Macs. And this Mac of mine has been running since 2003 24/7/365 (except for the upgrades installs and monthly update reboots). Even pre-PPC Macs are still useful as webservers, and there are plenty of examples out there. Show me a list of 286/386 webservers, pal. It is absolutely fact that Macs always outlast their PC counterparts from the same era. Where the heck have YOU been?

    I'v got a Macintosh Plus [1Mb] ... Seriously, it runs a [small :-] server ... offline:

    I've got a Mac SE/30... online. Sure, it can't handle a full Slashdotting, but people clicking in via the comments on Slashdot never made it break a sweat.

    But if you want l33t, see the Lisa servers. Those guys get the chicks.

    Compiling a small program on my dual 2GHz Athlon... 0.6 seconds. Compiling the same program on the SE/30... over seven minutes. :->

    It's 21 years old for Christ's sake. My Wife has a PowerMac 2x 2,5 MHz G5 and it *feels* snappier than that.
    The point is BIGGER MHz EVEN BIGGER bloat, we've gained so little.
    The constant "arms race" of MHz to bloat makes most gains moof, er - moot.
