Server sales worst on record

Unsurprising to read that server sales are the worst on record, while not only is the economic environment not conducive for business expansion and investment any time soon, but everyone and their dog is rolling out hardware virtualisation projects to squeeze more juice out of what they already have lying about in the spares cupboard. And rightly so. I love VMware Server; you can't get better value for money than freeware that significantly increases the return on investment in your existing hardware, right?

Dear Santa,

All I want for Christmas is a new Prime Minister. If Christmas can come early for me, say next week perhaps, so much the better.

Thank you,

Don't just book it, Thomas Cook it.

I'm surprised to hear today that the group Thomas Cook is part of, is on the verge of bankruptcy.

Not really surprised it is on the verge of bankruptcy, so much as surprised it is the first big big tour operator to announce this kind of imminent disaster.

Glad we don't already have a holiday already booked up for next year, with a sizeable deposit paid, with those guys then.

Presumably, this is yet another "green shoot" of our robust economic recovery that is apparently underway.
