Fixed as in by a mechanic or fixed as in by a veterinarian (that tomcat wasn't broken)?  (My servers are in the basement, my workstations are in the attic, after a few dozen troubleshooting trips up and down four flights of stairs I regularly get the urge to fix things like a veterinarian).  (Every few weeks I get the urge to switch back to reading books instead of mucking with computers -- several tons of books in this attic, and a few hundred pounds I haven't read more than once).

My normal security setting is paranoid schizophrenia.  Let them fight it out between themselves.
