Re: Erasing/Decomissioning DASD

[Jerry Adams <jerry@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Speaking of which (and more 'On topic' than the rest of the thread), 
yesterday the state of Tennessee issued an announcement that gun 
purchases in the state could now be made again.  The hold up (no pun 
intended) was that the "server" (unnamed) that the TBI used to run 
background checks had been down for a few days.  They now had (have?) a 
temporary server in place and checks should not take more than 30 minutes.


And I'm thinking:

   * obviously ain't an i5, and
   * hell, I do massive validations against my i5 databases and windows
     server data in less than a second..

Actually, since I interviewed with the TBI a few years ago, I know that 
they use windows servers.  (Didn't get the job, btw, because (a) I 
couldn't pass the background checks (!), and (b) they didn't like my 
snickering at their legacy system.)
