...and I'm sure you've all heard about the Novell server at the
University of North Carolina that was found behind a wall after four
years (that's 1460 days, give-or-take), right? if you haven't, there's a
link to the story here:

you have to admit, that's pretty admirable for a box that got sealed
behind drywall....  <g>  can't imagine what it did for ventilation...

naturally, i am not foolish enough to consider Novell over a *nix box,
but i just had to say that before certain people thought otherwise.
