    Yes, PROLIANT is a product from HP and Compaq; I have the pleasure of looking after them on a daily basis.
    Proliant is an acronym for "Professionally reliant", just something about the Server.
    Since when has the world of computer software design been about what people want? This is a simple question of evolution. The day is quickly coming when every knee will bow down to a silicon fist, and you will all beg your binary gods for mercy.

    I couldn't agree with you more.

    I'm certainly not a fat cat, although I do like a bit of p u s s y every now and again...

    No seriously, Fred the Shred etc shouldn't be receiving that huge retirement pot.

    It's all of the 'little people' like us that are now seeing the effect of their disasterous and cavalier strategies. However I can't help thinking that if some of the 'little people' didn't stop to think about the lines of credit they were taking out in the good times, perhaps the problems wouldn't be so bad. Again, I don't mean the small business owners doing they best to keep their companies going who have now had their lines of credit removed or the individuals that got into debt due to emergencies etc.

    I guess what I'm saying is that we all have a responsibility. Obviously the fat cats had the biggest responsibility and they left us high and dry.

    they used us!!!

    we the "little people" busy working, bringing up our kids, paying for this and that - of course our banks offer us loans and credit cards in the blink of an eye - we pay them the interest - the interest payments should have been reinvested into the banks but no - they went to the "fat cats" so they could get some p u s s y and fatten up their wives with treats - they were riding high and still are - it is their evil crime not ours

    if we did not take out loans, credit cards and mortgages, would the fat cats have still got rich? :confused:

    The bank did not put a gun to your head and force you to borrow, tell me have you ever applied for or been offered a credit product?
    Or are you accusing a financial institution of forcing you to sign a CCA and spend their money?
    Come on, time for some honesty here!
