Today one of our 918 processor boards bit the dust. I know I haven't been in the
MPE arena as long as some of you, however, this is the first time I have seen a
processor board go bad. Of all the days for this to happen, we are at month end
and fiscal year end. The good news is the replacement board was at the HP office
that services our facility. The bad news is we are going on over 5 hours of down
time. This is the first time in over 18 months that we have had a hardware
failure (not including our DDS drives and old printers) and that failure was for
an old disk drive.  Other than the horrible timing, this is yet one more
testimony to the reliability and performance of this platform. Too bad the
general public still has no idea what they are... :o(
