Apple Rackmounts

[Roy Walter]

I ran headless Frontier servers 8 years ago on Macs as web / remote 
scripting devices. Site content management, RPC, DAM, and WebLogs 
(before the term was coined I suppose). Accessed it via Timbuktu, and 
now that I work in Windows I sorely miss those days! The new 
configurations on OsX and new Frontier services look tremendously 
attractive.
