I was pretty suprised when I noticed that not only was Phil Shiller not using IE for his Xserve demos durin this introduction, but he was using Chimera instead! This was pretty brave considering that chimera is only at version 0.28;-)
<conspiracy theory>Could this mean that Apple may dump IE in the future in favor of chimera once it's finished?</conspiracy theory>
Go Chimera! Go Phil! Go Steve!

I had a demo unit of the Apple Network Server 500 under my desk for a while, and I remember how much fun it was to turn it on with the key. Turning on computers with keys was new to me then. I thought it was like starting a sports car.
As I recall, it was loud like a sports car, too.
I used it to telnet to other stuff, making it the most expensive VT100(-ish) terminal I've ever seen.
But the hardware was pretty cool.
Back on topic, anyone catch the guy from Genentech talking about running Blast in a "massively parallel fashion", then going back and saying "well I can't say we're massive at this point, but we're parallel"?
Maybe they'll make a big XServe if the little one works out?
