[ale] uptime

[Rich Faulkner]

We had a NT 4.0 PDC that was up since early 2000's...wasn't replaced (or rebooted for that matter) until 2008 when it was finally retired from service.  Needless to say it was a four-star mess...nothing worked right but management was far more afraid of rebooting it than not.  Those of us in engineering just shrugged our shoulders....

  LOL - I think the record for a Windoze server is probably going to be closer to 30 days.than 1000 days.  :-)

  Too long.  Internal box, you can't get to it from there.  I promise. ;)
