Re: Server SPAM

Hi Barry if only replacement makes you happy wow. After all of those trips
and many hours of brain work I would be ready to chop the Apple tree down
and use the wood in my smoker on a turkey. For the necessary killi part I
would add the gibblets to one of the 300 gallon daphnia vats to give the
infusorians a good spring kick.

the AKA web server. Well, the server is officially dead. The shop has
replaced the motherboard (twice), the hard drive, the CD-RW drive and the
MPU (main processor), none of which has completely fixed the problems.
Fortunately this machine is still under warranty.

give up and provide me with a new machine. They told me that if the
replacement MPU didn't fix it, they would do so. I had my fingers crossed
that it wouldn't fix it, because I didn't want a machine that had had its
guts replaced without really finding out what the root problem was. It
turned out that the MPU did not fix anything, so I am to get a new machine,
which will actually be a better one than the dead one. The dead one is
outdated - after all, it IS 10 months old.

having to send in the old one. I expect that early next week I will be
restoring the files to a new server. There may be some brief interruptions
to the web site while I do that. I will post a message when I am about to
begin.

did so in a big way, but a full replacement under warranty keeps me happy.
