From a "click and drool" vs..conf/perl standpoint, OS X Server might actually provide the best of both worlds *someday*. Unfortunately, it all depends on Apple .
Ameritech (SBC) $75 per month for 5 static IPs, 1.5 mbps downstream, only 256kbps up.
About $10-$15 less if you want only 768/128.
They don't exactly have five 9's in uptime, and of course those are theoretical maximums, it depends on the age of your wiring and distance to CO, etc....
But I plan on serving about 4 small business and personal sites, with maybe some Quicktime Streaming Server and a streaming MP3 jazz station.
I used to have RR and basic (no movie channels) cable for $90.
I'm ditching TW/AOL for:
Direct TV (amatuer baseball statistician with the MLB package) for $75
Ameritech DSL with 5 static IPs, 1.5 MBps download, 256k upload for another $75.
Ameritech local phone @ $30.
So I'm already at $180. Throw in 7 Playstation/movie rentals from blockbuster and I'm there.
Granted my LLC is going to pay for the DSL, and I don't NEED the baseball package, but the whole article seems to be saying, "Wow! we sure do spend a lot when you think about it as a lump sum!"
And I think that will be a problem for TW/AOL when the next recession hits. Rather than having 4 small entertainment bills that are much easier to rationalize separately - Hard Time Consumer will see one BIG frivolous entertainment bill.
Found that out this weekend. Installed a Linksys WAP11 with 2 laptops connecting, A Dell with Win98 and a Linksys card owned by someone else, and my ibook with Airport (orinoco oem) and OS X.
Up 3 stories in the house the OS X unit gets 80%-90% signal consistantly. The Win98 machine gets about a quarter starting on the second floor.
If a company doesn't care about "grafitti" on their storefront, then how much do they care about customer privacy, esp. credit card information? How much do they care about the security of their actual network?
If I can tell, I won't order from a MS hosted e-commerce site.
Off topic: Anyone know how CCBILL was comprimised? I wonder what they were running...

My Gosh! I never knew you could do that!
So I guess it's ok to have just one machine easily comprimised - esp. when it's making trusted calls to a "robust" backend databse.
Ass.
Esp. if they want me to engage in e-commerce.

Why? ibooks with UN*X installed are going for $895 until 12-31 at one of those mac connection or mac mall places.
