Re: [PLUG] OT? Costs of set-up and ownership, dedicated server

[John Von Essen <john@essenz.com>]

Now that I think about, I would too! Man would it be boring though...  
Maintaining a single system with nothing else to do.

A few years ago I quit a contract job that had a similar scenario. They  
hired me out of a budget overflow (needed to use it up before year end)  
and didn't have anything for me to do. I literally sat there all day  
with nothing to do. I went stir crazy. Doing nothing, while looking  
busy, is actually tough. You can only read and browse the web so  
much... Its dangerous to work at a place where you can't exercise your  
skills, its like muscle entropy.
