Anyone else remember when Gateway bought ALR and started pushing their 4 way + servers? They were some damn nice boxes, too. Funny, I don't see many gateway-labeled major servers anywhere... Cobalts are interesting machines; I've been considering gettign one for quite some time. MIPS pounds intel performance-wise, its also a generally much sexier arch in general. (I've held off on buying a qube because, damnit, I want my XEarth! that, and I never was too crazy about Linux, but I'll swallow my pride. For now.:) ) Somehow I suspect this is going to look nice on paper, Ok in catalogues, and really crappy at the bottom line. IMO..
