How do they expect to compete with the likes of NetZero and PeoplePC?
I _think_ the business model with the 36-bit stuff is to leave it
alone and as long as people send their money in, take it. As long as
they are only paying electricity to keep the servers on, it must be
profitable. Maintenace is to be discouraged as an unnecessary
expense.
BTW, Netcraft notes that their web servers are running
Solaris 8.
Heh... no doubt they aren't running cs.com web servers from the 36-bit
machines. _Has_ anyone ported a webserver to any flavor of TOPS?
(TOPS-10 / TOPS-20) One can write a simple web server from scratch
(look at how many embedded devices have web servers), but I mean like
apache or ncsa or something "real".
