Sun has this new "datacenter in a box" concept where they send you this
black box that is powerful enough to get onto the top 200 super computer
list.

They're going to bring one to Des Moines March 30th at the science
center.

I wonder why they call it a "virtual data center" though.

Based on the e-mail they sent, I was expecting a shoe box sized device.
So I was looking at the picture going, "ok, where's the box? Why have
the picture if you're not showing the thing?"

"Oh, the semi trailer IS the box..."
