There are many things that are "perfect" for folks
who want to play with certain technologies but don't
want to have to wipe their hard disk to do so,
etc.

E.g., note my previous mention of a quad 900MHz
P4 w/12  18G drives... for << $100.  Can you
think of a cheaper way for someone to play with
a RAID 5 configuration?  Or, *write* code for
a true multiprocessor?
