Why bother wasting that kind of computing power on a hobby anyway?  That's
like owning a Ferrari only to drive across the street to 7-11.  I've got a
3.2gHz P4 sitting here unused that I could slap the BBS on, but why?
Really, that's a silly question IMNSHO.

As for room, I've always found room for my BBS machine in all the places
I've lived.  Never had any problems with the lack of space.  Then again,
I'm not running all of my services at home so I don't need everything, but
heck, if I wanted to, I could easily host both of my domains on my OS/2 box
with no problems.  Instead, I pay $5 a month and let someone else deal with
all of it. :)

Later,
Sean
