A possible solution would be to consolidate tens or even hundreds of power-hungry NT servers into a single iSeries. Besides energy savings, the longer life of the iSeries would mean fewer Intel boxes in recycling bins.

Apparently humans are not the only organisms getting hip to the computer age. Bacteria are too. Britain's "The Mirror" conducted an experiment in a London office and found that computer keyboards are popular bacterial hangouts. The little things love the warmth. (No word which keys they prefer -- maybe the letter "b" for "bacteria"?) The experiment did not turn up the really sickening stuff like salmonella and E. coli, but there's always next time!
