[ a plus for them in my opinion ] I doubt I'll be able to make the con, time isn't readily available for me to travel. I'll send them a note about it, since they would most likely want to learn about anything that could ease the performance issues. Their showcase site alone uses over 4 Terabytes of data transfer a month, in the last 6 years they have only gone down once unexpectedly, and that was someone killing the power on the system accidentally. They have actually just started migrating to a full lamp solution, rather than a scripting language with a .ez extension. It actually made a significant improvement in performance when they did.
