What you are describing Bruce sounds more like ranching to me. Farming involves more concentration smaller more tightly controlled spreads, many more fences, much tighter control over the livestock, and more of a focus on cash crops in lieu of livestock. Server farming sounds like something Google or MS would do. I am not sure if anyone does server ranching anymore since the heydays of peer-to-peer music exchange. stan -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
