Rackspace it Is
The hosting debate is over, we are keeping the server (for one particular client) at rackspace.
I was able to get rackspace to give a break on the machine, I guess because we've been a customer of theirs for a few years now. The prices aren't listed anymore on their server options, but they were a week or so ago a comprable machine was around $850. We're getting an AMD 1.8Ghz with 1G RAM, 2x40G and 30G monthly bandwidth for $275/month. The specs aren't terribly impressive, but the cost includes unlimited rackspace fanatical phone and ticket support, 1 hour hardware replacement (monthy fee waived if it takes longer), 100% network uptime (price break for any downtime), and Red Hat Enterprise Linux (with patches etc). Apparently they've won some awards for their service, and are 30+ months without any downtime. Not sure how impressive that is.
To the people paying for the site, the extra cost for the support is worth the money. Didn't bat an eye at $275/month, were pretty happy that it didn't have to be $850.
Ahhh, I love a fresh server.

Hey Mike Kruckenberg--
Michael & Twana Weiler are trying to reach you! Michael just finished recording and is now releasing the first of 3 CDs of his music, dating all the way back to 1985. We are sending copies to all of our old & new friends, and of course we thought of you! Can you either email us or call us so we can send you one? We'd also love to chat and catch up.
Your two kids are adorable! We have our own little bugger--Liam. He is 11 months old. We have been in Denver since 1996, and we are excited to get in touch with old friends.
So can you get back to us? SOON?? Email: michaeltwana@yahoo.com or (720) 479-8268.
Thanks!!! Michael & Twana

It's been a long ride since the freemasons days!
Kruuuuuuuuk!
I can't believe I stumbled on this site! What are the odds! I was just trying to find gig dates for my new band posted on the web!
My music has taken a turn for the better. I've hooked up with a brittish drummer and a Chicago bass player here in Denver, playing in a band called "colder than fargo".
I've got a great job at Kaiser Permanente, a five year old, and another on the way in November. Drop me a line!
720-941-1441 or at my e-mail.
