For nothing, it is awesome software. Can't be beaten. And if you don't mind getting a little dirty, you can throw together a farm in short order. Additionally, you really don't need the book. I happen to own a couple, and the 'net is nearly as good. I buy them to support the folks that work at it!

Purely the cheap portion. I have seen a bunch of Xserves do wondrous things with Shake. But it costs a fortune (and they asked for my first born, I whimpered and said "But I like him, he didn't poop on the furniture!") Have you seen the new PS3(powerpc, probably already speaks Darwin)!?!

Nothing to say but "Argghhh!" And of course, they are aware of this?! I really, really, no REALLY, ... really appreciate the help. Thanks again, Matt P.S. System V rulez! ;) (they do spell it with a Z now, right?!
