spending their time building a system. If someone wants a small,
efficient car for gadding around town, do you tell them to build their
own? Hey, sure, motorheads are into that kind of thing; it's fun for
them, and they get all gooey-eyed about dropping in a custom tranny and
all that. But for the majority, the answer "build it yourself" isn't
something that makes them get all excited ("Oh boy! I can actually
-build- it for myself!"), anymore than building their own car, or
building their own house. Buying a pre-built, easy-to-install,
easy-to-set-up, reasonably priced file server can -for a lot of people-
make sense. Okay, it ain't right for you: nobody denies that, and you're
free to do as you like. But your point of view isn't everybody's. It's
called personal preference, and there's nothing wrong with it. It's why
there are companies selling pre-built NASes, and companies selling
bare-bones motherboards, and everything in between. Having choices is a
-good- thing.
