yes, it said "beefy" but also said circa "2001" ... so a quad processor with maybe Xeon, 350mhz, 500mhz ??? 2001 was EONS ago in computer years probably 4 generations or more of processor/motherboard design ago ... I'd love it for my lab, don't get me wrong, but if the school system says nothing older than 2 or 3 years, then 2001 does NOT qualify ...

Guys, did you read the original message? He said the server was beefy. Tells me that it is probably already running 2K3, or is at least capable of it. I understand that schools don't want ancient equipment, but this is supposedly not the case here. I used to work for a school district, I completely understand what can/cannot be accepted. And there was never a statement saying it wasn't servicing his needs. Maybe he's one of the lucky ones that rotate equipment on a regular basis whether it needs it or not.
