(fax) "Doing nothing?"

[Brian Frick]

Actually Steve Jobs' annual salary is $1, and he gets unlimited use  
of the corporate jet.  As for bonuses, he sure does make those, and  
he's loaded up on stock.  Keep in mind, too, he made a BOATload off  
Pixar, and some of his other pet projects aren't exactly failures....

I've seen the power bill for server centers easily reach $25,000/ 
month, and that's just for electricity.  Remember you've gotta run A/ 
C on those to keep the temp down.  A/C is not cheap.  A server center  
with 10,000 units can generate quite a bit of heat.
