Heh, I wish I got in on the dot-com boom and then got out before it cratered. Because, I too, dream of inevitable obscene wealth. <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://definecynical.mancubus.net/forum ... iggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif' /><!--endemo--><br><br><i>"I regret nothinnnnnnnnngggggg..............."</i><br>

Many information sites have a search function powered by google.

They used to sell rack-mount hardware, dedicated search engine servers and such. I dunno if they still do that, but the servers they built were pretty tacky, Bright yellow with a goofy Google logo on it, clashed with every other rack-mount server case on the market.
