Geoffrey:
Meanwhile, back at the ranch.....
All things these days have offsets, Geoffrey... I seem to recall a time
when in order to swap pieces of "self-centred, narcissistic, ego-aggrandised
trivia" I had to jump in the jalopy (blast from the past there!) and head
downtown to a pub or coffee shop or just the local shopping mall, burning up
fossil fuels at a huge rate. And that was in the days when cars drank Real
Fuel, with Proper Lead in it, and none of that added ethanol 'n stuff.
(Well, there was added boolium and foolium and the occasional tiger...)
So for what server farms cost, when everyone stays at home, maybe we get the
offset of foregoing boolium, foolium, lead, tigers, ethanol and exhaust
gases? Pick your 'drathers...
