Got a pc eh?

Anyways I hope whatever server we decide to get (new or used) that it is fast, has a lot of memory and a good size bus.

So who gets to pick the server? Will it be a group decision?

Where you at Jerry D.?

How much would concrete pay for a piece of SDMB? Would you have the ability to make unilateral decisions you can make now? Just a question.

That is the question, **absoul**.  
The answer would have to be that no one would recieve any more consideration than they would if they didn’t contribute money.
