In truth, if I had not mentioned the 7 - 8 hours the servers were down, 
would
any of you have actually noticed?  Management would have to give me a
pretty hefty raise to get me out of bed in the middle of the night to keep
FOT mail from being delayed a few hours ;-)  Of course, I usually go to bed
in the middle of the night, in the 3 - 4 am range.  Old habits die hard.

Actually I can afford a better UPS, just not the $1100 power cords I
should buy!  [ This from a thread on the shop talk list.  Interesting link,
