I'd be right there with you, but I gotta get one of those UPS thingies. 
Other OS's have uptime:

seavme> uname -a
UNIX_System_V seavme 4.0 R40V4.4 m88k mc88100
seavme> uptime

The next time someone says Linux can't hang show them this.
This is a SparcClassic with  32MB RAM serving WWW pages
and my Sparc test platform.
Obsolete hardware to everyone but me.

I wanted to get this out before I have to start turning equipment
off to mount in imy refrigerator converted to server cabinet.

Woops, gotta go and reboot my wifes Win98 desktop, again.
