Well I must admit that there are not a lot of posts, nor has there been for
a while - but very nearly 100% of them are extremely valuable to a
non-systems administrator (I'm actually an entomologist) such as myself.
And particularly your input/advice LC has helped me directly in the past.

Keep it up - it is very much appreciated.

Cheers, Craig

I still check in almost every day. The problem is that this
darn Compaq Prolian 5500R server of mine just keeps running
and running, and never has a problem to talk about!

I suppose that we could talk about bargain servers we see on eBay...

Or we could go completely off-topic just for fun:

fail - The Ultimate Easy Quiz for Compaq Server owners

Hi Guy !

I took the test, but I suspect that I got 'em all wrong.

Maybe I should not have been using my IBM Server when I took the test.

Think this is bad - try the Token Ring group!

Alternatively we could chat about how badly HP screwing up the
ProLiant series of servers and SoftPaq's

say what you will... they are still engineered better than Dell and IBM.
Software is still much better too.

you guys would love to play in my sandbox... 1500 + servers in 30,000 sq.ft.
in chicago. Another 24K sq.ft. room being built out, and we have the option
on another 28K sq.ft. of raised floor...

we have a boat load of real Compaq, some IBM for AIX and eSeries, RS6000, a
massive VAX cluster... 100TB of tape backups (2 Silo's, more SDK and
StorageTek libraries than I can count) .... We have been buying the new
HPaq's, and so far have not been let down. Friggen fast machines, and built
like tanks. whats not to like?

I will try to pinch some pic's if i can.
