And it's not even just that. I live in Shakopee, a suburb of Minneapolis, and we can't get cable modems or DSL here. In fact, because of the way the phone stuff is set up in our neighborhood, I rarely get a higher connection rate than 26400, and never higher than 28800. I have been on a list with US West for about 6 months now (they've been saying that it will be available Real Soon Now (tm) for even longer than that), and have been hearing rumors about cable modem service for a little while, but nothing has happened yet.
As soon as it does, though, I'm there. It's been too long with a slow connection. *g*
I don't know. I can't say as I have ever heard great things about Mac servers in general, or Web servers specifically, and I hear a lot about servers. I don't buy the reasoning about Macs not having a shell, so they are harder to break into. If you secure your server, and follow good practices (like having the doc root and the server root in different spots, etc.) you shouldn't have much to worry about. I guess what ever works. If (or more likely _when_) they find out it doesn't work for them, maybe they'll move it to a different server.
