So you think that old server is worthless? Think again - HP are celebrating 20 years of their x-86 architecture by offering a free ProLiant G6 server to the school or business that has the oldest Compaq/HP SystemPro server still in operation!
Take a look here - If you've still got one of these machines running, register it and see if you win a replacement!
It would be pretty embarrasing for the government if one of you were to win this, but I know many of you have complained about the outdated systems you're running

20th January 2010, 12:58 AM #5 I found a HUGE black box in a cupboard, which turned out to be the first server the school had.... Not sure how old it was, but I found it next to a calculator that had pull levers and dials to set/calculate numbers.
