(On that note) I've got a few old Mac machines that I need to get rid of
if anyone is interested. They're great machines but my wife wants them
out of the living room.....

> Macintosh Quadra 610 with 14 in. monitor. On-board Ethernet,

server. $20

> Power Macintosh 8500/150. 150Mhz, 3.6Gb HD, 128 Ram,

Also, I'm selling this Linux laptop, if anyone is interested:

NEC Versa 2650CD laptop. 150Mhz, 32Mb RAM, 1Ghz HD. Running RedHat 7.1.
$100

Er, it's actually correct. Back in '97 there was a challenge issued to
crack into a web server running 7.x and a default install of whatever
the most
popular web server for Mac was back then.

Nobody got in. mac68k shell code seems to be a bit rare :)

According to w3, "The safest Web site is a bare-bones Macintosh
running a bare-bones Web server". Check it out here:

I found this after reading this slashdot article:

Seems kind of ridiculous...
