Yeah, and a cigar is just a cigar

There are times when I wish I was still running my sites on tower, a 486 based system running at 33MHz (Megahertz) with 32M (Megabyte) of RAM (Random Access Memory) and a 17G (Gigabyte) harddrive [1]. That way, when somebody complains that their server isn't a quad-4GHz (Gigahertz) CPU (Central Processing Unit) monster with 3G of RAM and a few terabytes of diskspace, I can shove tower where the sun don't shine and mock their inadequacies, unless, of course, they're running a site like Slashdot [2] (which of course, they're not).
