That and how scary it is how many people are needed to herd
NT boxen...

Of course, the 1 bad thing about the 1-big-box is all-your-eggs-
in-1-basket. That's why I'd rather have a (VAX-like) shared-
disk cluster, since upgrading s/w is a snap, and if a box dies,
you still have it's data, and the other boxen can seamlessly take
up the slack.
