When you witness the power of this fully operational web server! The CIO of the College I work at let us know today that we are getting a new webserver. Nearly 1 terrabyte of space, 4 gigs of ram and dual quad-core xeons. Bow before it, bow!
Pfffft. The computers our students use in the labs are almost that spec: 3 GBRAM, dual quad-core CPUs. They don’t have that much local storage, but they don’t need it: they mount storage from our file server, with (currently) 6 terabytes of capacity. :)
We’re just over a thousand students for our department, this quarter. Total number of students on main campus is about 52,000. You can see more stats about OSU, if you’re interested.
Now, play nice. You’re both pretty, you can both go to the prom. I on the other hand run my web server off a 650mhz box that a friend gave me. So there.

For a school the size of yours, I am sure that our webserver is nothing to get worked up about, I will give you that.
But for a school that has an annual institutional budget smaller than the departmental budgets of some larger schools, this is heavy metal.
So there.

Is this where someone pops in and says “It’s not the size of the hard drive…” ?
