...meltdown, represented about 15% of our server business; servers represent about 20% of our [total] business - so it's not significant overall. And it won't go to zero - everything I'm reading points to more, not less, regulation. That stuff is going to require tracking software. Sarbanes Oxley led to significantly more IT spending...
