hahaha!!! i love the 2 pages after it asks if you know what a server is! that is hilarious and so true!!!

"the office is a boring place where big people go and do boring things."
"offices are why big people get grumpy, and say bad words."

LMAO!!!!

it goes on to talk about who you can share files with on the server and it says this:
"or your uncle who smells like bark." haha, wtf?

This is the most truthful statement in the history of words.

Yes. =)

"Only a collector of Microsoft memorabilia would want to buy this book. If this sells, it will signal to advertisers worldwide that if they disguise their sales literature cleverly enough, rubes will buy it.

That said, this book is part of a very clever $10 million ad campaign for the Windows Home Server made by HP. The book, by a fictitious psychologist, can be read in its entirely at stayathomeserver com. The site uses fake news clips and the book to promote the idea that servers aren't just office equipment, but make sense in a home that features multiple computers, Xboxes, and other networked technology."

Maybe I have to clarify for the remedial class.

MARKETING MATERIAL OF A HUMOROUS NATURE. i.e., not an actual children's book directed towards children, written by a real doctor.

Um... ok I keep looking for a connection to them from The Onion but can't seem to find it. I'm having a hard time believing this is real. Funniest thing is in this day and age the kid probably understands just as much about the server than the parents!

Oh.. and I've had a web/ftp/file server sitting in my room for.. 4 years now?
