RE: Pandemonium at Hot-sites

Perhaps.  But a word to the wise.  TEST YOUR PLAN!!

Another issue:

How many people have a hot site contract for each hot site computer?

Yes, the same problem we bitch about to the airlines affects our hot site
contract:  OVERBOOKING.

The hot site folks do some estimating: How many computers will fail at the
same time and will require use of a hot site computer?

Wanna bet a number of companies will declare 'disasters' early on New
Years' Eve just to make sure they get the computer?

Wanna bet that you'll be first in line?

This oughta be a lot of fun!
