The whole office effectively shut down. I even asked the employees the previous evening when we had dinner about "What's the worst that can happen" and came up with various contingencies.... - How about 3 years ago when we left for a 3 week trip (we have no employees other than ourselves then, but the server needs to be up and connect to the world to mail out auto-responders etc.) and Pacbell (we only had a "consumer" DSL plan then) decided that we never have DSL. Not even when we said we can prove it by giving them 2 YEARS worth of bills? That outage last 2 months :-( etc. At 02:37 PM 10/17/2004, Brian Reid wrote: >The LUG server somehow knew that I was on an airplane today and chose to >go down just as I was boarding.
