Although I could not agree more, one caveat here - hosting a "server" of nearly any flavor is a violation of most current ISP's TOS. I know we do it and get away with it (and its one of the dumbest rules ever), but they will terminate your service from time to time until you agree to obey - it has happened to me twice over a simple HTML/Javascript web server.

But that's OK because for most users they'd just be using Opera ... "sorry, what's a server?".

Incidentally I win at teh internetz, broke this story on the 14th, if only I was famous I'd be, err, famous.

Besides it clearly says "web server" so... ;)
