Hmmm... anything you need to store, process and transmit large
quantities of data [1]: processing power, bandwidth, memory, etc... not
to forget people to run the whole thing.

Don't think that Rootsweb runs on a single i386SX with 640kB of RAM,
and over a 1200b/s modem ;)

[1] According to http://lists.rootsweb.com, 20784 mailing lists. Add to
that the databases, the websites, and so on...
