Oh, I am as well.. I manage a couple of VM hosts's and one's not even in the
same state and is half way up the east coast of Australia. Just love the out
of band stuff that's built into real server hardware.

Some things though just don't like being run in a vm enviroment, and work
better on real hardware!
