Gregory's ServerGreat article! And one that almost any consumer can easily understand and digest. At least for about the first third of the article.
I do, however, believe that it's "beckoned call", and not "beck and call", and the jelly simile is a bit overly abstract, although valid.
And arguably, UNIX was misspelled.
I would alsorecommend rephrasing the following, "Nobody understands the entire things any more:", to perhaps "Nobody comprehends the entirety of these things any more:"
I also don't completely concur with lies #3 and #4.
Near the very end of the article, the solution is finally provided for the almost seamless conversion from .pst files using an IMAP server (OfflineIMAP works well too), and that deserves it's own discussion, but I feel by that point the author had long since left most n00bs in the dust.

All in all, while I applaud this work of the author, I feel the editor fell down on the job. This could have been a four part series with ample review of the basic premise at the beginning of each part; reaching an even wider audience with greater circulation.
