Today, Intel was talking to me about a CGI program I wrote, that they
really like and want to buy. They understand perfectly well that it is
in PERL and uses many wonderful features of the apache webserver, but
still think it would be a great idea if I could make it run on their NT
server. NT!? I said to myself... So, the first 16 megs... your OS.
Then, you get hundreds of bloated copies of perl running at the same
time, etc. Ouch. But, I said "I'll look into it" instead of saying "NO!
You should run it on a DEC Alpha running Linux!!!"
