A funny concept ruined by overt gender stereotypes. Mommies can provision servers too, you know.

How to tell your kids about home servers.

Agree with others: funny, but I found it hard to ignore the overt gender stereotypes. Someone posted this book as a threat on Twitter, by the way, which is where I found it: https://twitter.com/tentaclesoft/stat...

I enjoyed this quick read quite some years ago. I think Microsoft was giving them out at a conference or event. For geek mom's and dad's who like their hardware, this will give you a laugh.
