People locate things here because of the people. I'll also repeat: last time I priced it (1 year ago), colo space in the middle of Santa Clara county, including power, was 25% cheaper than the equivalent in Vegas, where land and power are cheap. There's economy of scale at work. Now, mind you, of course that's a Santa Clara colo located where the cheap power company is, which isn't the one that's 2-3x more expensive than most places. -- greg _______________________________________________ Beowulf mailing list, Beowulf@beowulf.org sponsored by Penguin Computing To change your subscription (digest mode or unsubscribe) visit http://www.beowulf.org/mailman/listinfo/beowulf
