I agree Chris.  Its not been 100% dependable for several months, but its 
now a bit past 4 full days.  For such a high profile site to be down 
this long doesn't bode well because folks who want a dependable service 
WILL go someplace else.  I row the boat on those lists with a very small 
oar, coulkd be mistaken for a toothpick, but I'll certainly recommend a 
new server be found.

I wonder if some new bean counter MBA fired all the tech help because 
they were an expense?  Back when I was working as a Chief Engineer/Chief 
Operator, that happened to much of my operating staff once, until he got 
to me.  The owner balked, and I hired my dept back.

That was the beginning of the end for that MBA.  He was exposed as 
cooking the books when the annual audit was done.  The owner gave him 10 
minutes to get his stuff in one sock & the local LE escorted  him from 
the premises.  Every MBA ever graduated has to learn the hard way that 
to get a steady supply of product from the cash cow, it takes a 
maintenance line item in the budget.  Parts and salary's to feed that 
cow.

Cheers, Gene Heskett
