Server is not meant for 'individual folks'?

Interesting, considering that I operate a household that has to use a
local area network in order to run.

Apple had better realize that within a few years, at least one-third of
the household systems will be running over a network.

In hte mean time, unless Steve gets his act together, I'm going Linux.
And, after 25 years, to HELL with Apple.

P.S. I'm counselling my corporation, a Fortune 500 RBOC, to scrap the
effort to go OS X.

P.P.S. Regarding the idea that...."AppleCare for a G4 itself is $249,
and would cover
whatever OS came with it, for three years."

Forget about it. That's official. There IS NO SUPPORT for OS X SERVER
under AppleCare.
