Well, impressive. You should post your machine to some of the internet
uptime counters. You have the only NT that I have ever seen stay up that
long. It is a tribute to your group's skill/luck in keeping your machine up
for so long.

> I'd call two years pretty good uptime.
You can't say it has been up for 2 years if it went down once.

[flamebait follows, read at your own risk]

However, you mention unplanned downtime. I presume you have done some
upgrades to the software in that time period? Too bad you can't install
software without rebooting like in Linux. ;')>

Penguin powered,

when properly configured; paperweight when not]
