Default Google’s First Production Server

While snooping around I found this link to this photo of google's first server. This is how they began, to me it look pretty jumbled up and very confusing. But you know in life things doesn't always start out as a sucess but look at them now, the very best search engine in the world and is worth billions.

Here is the link to the photo

So what do you guys think?

I think they bought that one of Google's second-hand Admin. Which means they must have at least two now

I hope they don't read this thread

I think we should send them quote for a brand new P4 Server.

Agreed. It's not like they get 903472390472385480949859845.1 billion non-unique hits a day is it?
