I don't know what's funnier... The post or the fact that when I clicked the link from the MacCentral newsletter a Visual Studio.Net banner ad happened to be the top of the Slashdot page.
Since the Xserves take up only a 1/3 of the space. VT could pull out just a 1/3 of the PowerMacs install the Xserves and run 1100 Xserves and the 733 Power Macs that haven't been pulled out yet. Run it for a while in that configuration just to see what the score would be and then pull out the remaining Power Macs.
Okay, I'm the friend that suggested this. I'm trying to figure out how the post rated a funny. It's a serious suggestion. Those PowerMacs were a part of history, and should be memorialized somehow. Laser engraving a few words, putting Dr. Varadarajan's signature and numbering each of the cases would be a nice touch. If VT then put them on eBay they could recoup some of their cost and actually make something off of them, cause we all know they didn't pay retail.
It's obvious TV already has plans for them put I do feel the cases should be somehow marked to acknowledge the role those Power Macs played in history.
