How old is google anyway? Presumably it'll be on topic in a year or

Google's first production cluster server (a homebrew job using
off-the-shelf motherboards mounted on corkboard) is already in the
Computer History Museum's collection (and in the main exhibit area no
less).

Using the
list as an alternative to Google, which "some" folks do, is
violating the spirit of the purpose of CCTALK. At least have the courtesy
to take blatantly off-topic questions off-line (and SPECIFICALLY REQUEST
that any off-topic answers go to private e-mail).
I am quite guilty occasionaly of using the list on things I should google
for.
