It certainly did. Some of it must be from the fans in the servers as well. Can you imagine having those kinds of speeds at home? :o

No, but I believe Trevor's in a skip round the back!  ;D



It was interesting to catch a glimpse of the inner workings of IDNet.  I wonder if we could persuade Simon to make a virtual tour video for us?

Most large server hall are noisy places, with the forced air conditioning extracting the warm air away from the servers.

I feel so sorry for those poor discarded machines.  Give their life in service to mankind and then just thrown on the scrapheap. :'(  Just a minute, doesn't that happen to pensioners as well. :mad:

Just that little glimpse of the innards of idnet was very interesting

I would highly appreciate perhaps some other photos etc. from the inside

Or is that top secret "we'd have to kill you" stuff ?    8)
