    OK, OK, and I suppose that my wife and I have five kids because we networked without a firewall?

    To bad it is MS. My 5 year old son did ask me about my server when I was first setting it up. Only I didn't use a low quality OS like windows.

    Too funny! I like the artwork.

    If you follow the link, it appears to be a product demo/joke presented at CES by Microsoft.

    Home servers are no laughing matter.

    How else will I be able to surf the blocked websites from work.

    j/k I did follow the link. It was pretty clever.

    This is great! My wife will get a kick out of it and probably run out and buy it.

    My kids never asked that question - they just assumed it belongs there like the refrigerator or the stove. Actually I have 4 servers, one physical and three virtual

    If anybody does have a home server remember the three most important rules of server maintenance:

    1. Backup
    2. Backup
    3. Backup

    There are also these funny video spoofs of Microsoft stay at home servers. Look for "Home Sweet Server" on the left. The smarmy reporter guy is pretty funny.

    *** Remember the Commandment ****

    Oh it's no use: I want a server in my house. One that goes: blinkety blink, blinkety Blink!

    IF I had a server I would share files with people outside the house--Like Grandma and Grandpa...or Rich's uncle who smells like bark or even....

    Here is Microsoft Watche's take on it. They view it as a briliant marketing tactic.

    They're running a great ad campaign with these bits. I have the HP EX470 and it works great! I'll be adding another 500GB drive next month and, by the end of the year, 2 more. 2TB of server ... oh happy day!
