That's quite true. Though in the case of HP I don't think that they've ever
failed:) The *best* computers I've seen/had/used so far. Not like Sparcs with
those pesky idprom problems (I've got a 330 in need of surgery).

Way OT but as a fellow NAT-suffering european you ought to be cheering and
jumping for IPv6. As always, your network is your network and I don't think
that anybody cares if you ran the whole thing on top of serial muxes with
multidrop slip encapsulating chaosnet and XNS but I want IPv6 on everything
that I have:) Actually I just played my first ever IPv6 Quake-game last week
with end-to-end native v6 only. I sucked.. and I was the only player.
