Heh.

Looks like NeXT, oops, I mean Apple, will finally give Sun a run for
the money.

This is a win for everyone, since competition in the Unix market =
more cool stuff to play with.

ATA is fine for lowend systems, since basically for web servers you
never want to swap or hit the disk - as much as possible should be in
RAM.  The disk is just there to store stuff for when you power cycle
the machine.
