Subject: I love my 400

I still love this machine.

Even though the disk failure rate is higher than I would like, I'm happy to
note that it hasn't caused me any serious trouble, and so far a total UDT
(unscheduled down time) of 15 minutes this year.  I blew another disk drive
yesterday, noticed it last night, called it in first thing this morning, and
within an hour and a half it was being replaced (with one IPL which cost me
the 15 minutes of UDT I spoke of).  The system is back up and running, and
the disk is almost done rebuilding itself.

This is what I pay for with my machine.  I guess with hot-swappable RAID
drives I could get the same sort of coverage with a server farm, but I'd
have to do it myself, eh?  Here, the drive was couriered in, the tech came
in and installed it, and away I go.  I didn't even have to leave my desk.
