I'd agree with that.  :^)  Joke them if they can't take a ... oh,
nevermind.

Well, as I'm sure you know, a 404 does not indicate a down system - it
indicates that the file isn't found.  What I'm sure you don't know, is
that RS/6000 is an extremely reliable server, and fast.  It's not an
AS/400, but it's every bit as reliable.  Now if you want to talk about
unreliability, I'm amazed you didn't mention MacroSloth... or is that just
too obvious to state?  :^)
