I agree with both of you. Nevertheless, what I wanted to express it that the
clustering thing should not only be userfull for "having-resources"
companies (Otherwise, just use BEA ;) ) IMHO. Making hardware assumption is
about leaving the "plug-and-appreciate" land to the
"plug-and-buy-these-cool-stuffs-and-appreciate". Because if we continue on
cool-hardware assumptions, I am sure we can continue a long way ;)

Most probably, yes ;)
