Well... Jim Conley will laugh when he sees this and think about the
machine that dad and I brought to a bring it/make it lab. It was
166MHz with 32MB of RAM. After some initial hiccups, it did work
and by the time folks were typing in the URLs for the upgrades, I had
caught up with them. Our current SME server, however, is a Celeron
1.6GHz and 128MB RAM machine. Since it's our Web Caching
Server, it's called JohnnyCache.
Jim, BTW, has always been a wonderful resource for our county
techs. We appreciate the SME workshop that he did and all the
other help he's provided us.
