Every starter kit I ordered (3) did not show up at my doorstep. When I questioned Sun, they said it was either at the post office (which it wasn't) or it was "lost in transit, feel free to order another kit at no cost."
Cheers, thanks Sun.

We do not sell the MicroServer series directly to consumers.
Before the PS3 was released as a gaming console, the company my brother works for (aerospace, not a gaming company) received a few from Sony that were for development only and will not play games at all. They're gray in color and much larger, heavier and noisier than consumer PS3s.. but everyone on the dev team there was in awe of its speed.
Indeed.. they could also slap web-based server management on all your machines and fire you with the reason that "we can manage them from the uhh.. website now."
But that was a very small IT company I worked for, who doesn't bother changing the locks on the building or the alarm security code. (Nice security practices, har har.)

...the vintage of my DEC 21164A stomping the Pentium Pro on the SPEC charts. Still doubles as a nice space heater :)
