My theory is that it took so long because there were 50+ rolls of duct
tape in various spots holding the servers together. The tape had to be removed, the problem fixed, and then the machine re-taped with fresh duct tape. The Sun crew provided exrta tape removing hands and swapped out the offending piece of hardware. Then once the server was rebuilt, they realized they had left one of their employees inside after a headcount and had to remove the tape once more. Once the tape was back in place and a head count had been taken, they set about restoring data from their 100 meg zip disks, only to realize that disk 5391 from AW's server was missing. Now they are in the process of hand reassembling the missing data hoping it'll be correct, which it most likely won't.

lol...now when you say duct tape...is this industrial or economical? Cuz I'm
gonna build a "server bomb" shelter if they're using economical. :) My theory is actually quite more realistic. :) You see, they were putting up Christmas decorations in the offices, but the wires overelectrocuted the main circuit board in their office, causing a blackout, which could explain the sudden stops and go's before the actual "crash". So, they brought in the candles, but it burned out something REALLY important (maybe the duct tape?), and then, most likely, Wing's theory can finish the leg of the race. :) Sorry AWLD, but hey, it helps to laugh at bad situations. :) Hope you guys DO get AW up and to its usual self though. :) Nornny [View Quote] the derekDec 9, 2000, 6:11am
