LOL.

Anyone notice how many times the terms "Snap Appliance" or "Snap Appliance
1800" are being used on the BOINC site? Anyone would think they were given
the thing in exchange for (good) publicity. They do seem to be inferring
that it's a 'gift from god', to use a cliche.

Well, I doubt that all the mentions in the context of problems are the kind
of testimonial most manufacturers would want to see publicized.


I must admit I was curious enough about what it was to Google it.

You might have noticed that SnapAppliance is a "Major Sponsor" of the
project--their corporate logo / link is shown at the bottom of the
setiweb.ssl.berkeley.edu page, after all.
