And I don't know if it is true, but we had one in a data center on the 21st floor of a building. I was told that if it were to tip over (impossible?), it wouldn't stop until it hit the basement. It was supposedly on a specially reinforced section of the floor. But I don't know enough to know if this is true or not. Makes me wonder how they got it into the build, if true. -- John McKown Senior Systems Programmer HealthMarkets Keeping the Promise of Affordable Coverage Administrative Services Group Information Technology The information contained in this e-mail message may be privileged and/or confidential.
