Me thinks not. Secondly, overkill is the shelf space that this stuff was taking up for me. Anyhow, I need a RELIABLE email server. I've yet to find one. I'm on yahoo, hotmail, excite, roadrunner, etc. They all stink. If its used for more then this then fine (as long as the email stays reliable), but if no one else uses it, I sure as hell will. Maybe store some isos on it...cool...don't...cool.
