no, it's the other way round.  i want a very small server= .  it needs
to have the same cpu/storage/memory config as the = typical laptop, but
doesn't need the display or the keyboard.  = ;it would be sufficiently
small to have a black box the size of a laptop but smaller thickness
(be= cause no display or keyboard)

is useless, since He wants nothing in particular. If he wanted somethin= g -- and here we recognize the traditional

which would debase the entire value of being born."
