I had an unusual experience at Microsoft -- I worked in Web TV's old headquarters over on Charleston, up the road from the La Aveneda campus. It was a big building, but the whole time I worked there, I was the same ten people every day. They put about 200 computers in there, 10x (2x8cpu, 5x2cpu, 2x4cpu, domain controller, and a lab). We were a lab. There were $6 million worth of Computers in it. (The facility itself cost a lot more than that). So I compute all "big numbers" as how many little groups of ten people can sit and play with some computers, like we did. This fine would support roughly 1000 people :-) -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
