Jason "What Headers?" Randle misquoted Admiral Hyman G. Rickover:
"Great minds discuss ideas.
Average minds discuss events.
Small minds discuss people."
I can't find a reference for the last line, but I did stumble across an
interesting editorial...
We get most of our server consolidation with Exchange 2000,"
Devenuti says. But he expects to be able to push the number
of users per server from about 3,000 on Exchange 2000 to
5,000 on Titanium. [/ME notes that Linux can handle at least
2,000,000 per box using dear old klunky SendMail as per
http://thewhir.com/marketwatch/sendmail828.cfm and that tests
