USER CONFIDENCE TAKES A NET LOSS
We've seen plenty of evidence lately that security on the Internet is not
all that it could be. Recent examples of lost, misplaced, or unsecured
data -- including episodes with CardSystems Solutions, ChoicePoint,
Citibank, Bank of America, and Wachovia -- could potentially affect
millions of consumers.

PRODUCT GUIDE: IBM ESERVER P5 510
The eServer p5 combines an extremely powerful dual-core RISC processor
with a ton of L3 cache, hardware-based logical partitions, and
fault-tolerance features as good as any other 2U server. It's well
suited for clustered numerical processing and server consolidation
-- as long as you run your applications on the Power5 platform. The
server runs either AIX or Linux -- or both at the same time, in
different hardware partitions.
