Commodore 64 Web Server

Via channelregister.co.uk -

Online retailing can be a rough sport. The competition is rabid, customer loyalty is fickle, and IT expenses can go through the roof.

That's why The Register can appreciate an e-tailer with a unique business model.

A hawk-eyed El Reg reader points out that UK online retailer Ebuyer.com appears to be cutting costs by running its site on servers dating back to the late Cretaceous period - roughly speaking.

According to internet monitoring company Netcraft, the e-tailer has bypassed run-of-the-mill legacy servers for some serious heirlooms.

Take a gander at the Netcraft site report for Ebuyer.com

It would appear that on June 16th, they replaced the old Commodore 64 for a CRAY Supercomputer....nothing like a CRAY Web Server. lol

Needless to say, I would take this OS detection with a gain of salt.
