Nice discussion. We have too many books, we need to select. No, just build a bigger library! Now we're about at the part where people compare IKEA with office supplies ;-)
(Lots of company offices use IKEA furniture. IKEA has had a separate department for this since well over a decade. If that's not good enough for you, why bother with Wikipedia, when you can use a "real" encyclopedia instead?)
The point was that when I needed the toolserver, it didn't provide the space I needed (in this case 160 GB), so I had to use my own server, which uses cheap SATA disks. I was able to complete my task, but not with the help of the toolserver. This means others can't build on my work and people without a server of their own will fail to complete such a project. The idea behind the toolserver was not met by the actual implementation in this case. It doesn't matter if it's gold plated, if it can't be used.
