Another brilliant example of taking things out of context.  That part of the original message read:

"Mine stays up for weeks on end.  I shut it down because I am always fiddling with it, adding hardware and doing stuff"

Kind regards,

Denys writes of NT servers:

>NT is
>indeed ready for the big time.

and goes on to say:

>Mine stays up for weeks on
>end.

which seems to refute the first statement. A system is ready for the big
time when its users stop being impressed by three weeks' worth of uptime.

NT 1997 = MPE 1979?
