Woohoo!!!

[Kimi A. Adams]

Well, well.  Now it just seems like someone's joy is someone's thorn.  I 
believe that having a Windows machine up more than three days is a feat 
beyond having a Linux server up a whole year.  But then again, I also get a 
warm fuzzy when my machine doesn't perform some type of screw up on a daily 
basis.  Those .dll files can be quite a pain in the neck.  So, I would like 
to put this into perspective.  If you have a server that hasn't crashed or 
stopped working or been accidentally reformatted at least once, then I 
congratulate you with my whole heart and being.  But, on Windows, whether 
it needs it or not, we start from scratch every few months.  No 
notification needed, definitely no crying required.  But then again, 
notifications can be quite a preempt to a larger problem at hand.  Wishing 
well to those that have made it more than three days............
