450,000 servers? Read this Wiki Article: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Google_platform Google use 450,000 Server for serving search result. I am shocked when i read this. ------------- This is my 100th post in this forum.
Why would you be shocked? If there's any surprise, isn't it that it takes no more than 450,000 servers to index, search through, and deliver results when the internet contains one, two, or is it now three trillion websites? Even so, it does suggest that no-one is going to catch up with Google. It's so far ahead that Bill Gates' wealth isn't large enough to do so -- and never mind the logistics and time the task would involve. Duncan
