RE: OT RE: 24 x 7 on NT?

Well, my UNIX box would probably run forever except that the DDS3 tape changer can't seem to last a whole year without breaking. Need to shut the machine down to replace the tape changer. I'm hoping to get lucky this year. Only 120 days till victory!

# uptime
 12:09 pm up 245 days, 1:01, 4 users, load average: 0.19, 0.48, 0.70

well, then there must be a whole lot of unix boxes out there because we've got 40 of them right here. i'd say all of my 32 databases have been up that much too, but i've only had 25 of them up a whole year.;-) yup, i know i've been lucky.
