Apple Releases Cluster Node Xserve

Posted by pudge on from the for-the-basement dept.

JHromadka writes "Apple today released a cluster node version of its Xserve rackmount server. The Cluster Node is a dual 1.33GHz G4 that has 256 MB RAM, no optical drive, Gigabit Ethernet only on the logic board, no graphics card, and only 10 client licenses. Starting price is $2799, which is a grand less than the normal Xserve."

    Sounds like they are ready to start charging for upgrades right away!

      Noone in their right minds buys anything thru Apple, they charge insane markups. Having one supplier is convenient, but not worth that kind of price imho.

      Let me clue you in, Mac-boy: everything Apple sells is expensive. It's just that true-believers like you continue to fork out their cash to that snake oil salesman in the black turtleneck.

    Dear Apple,

    I am a homosexual. I bought an Apple computer because of its well earned reputation for being "the" gay computer. Since I have become an Apple owner, I have been exposed to a whole new world of gay friends. It is really a pleasure to meet and compute with other homos such as myself. I plan on using my new Apple computer as a way to entice and recruit young schoolboys into the homosexual lifestyle; it would be so helpful if you could produce more software which would appeal to young boys. Thanks in advance.

    with much gayness,

    Father Randy "Pudge" O'Day, S.J.
