if you just want to measure the machine or OS then that's fair
enough I guess, but in the corporate world you'd only really be
interested in total downtime regardless of the cause I would've thought.
So dodgy electricians (we have problems with them at work too!)
should be included because you should have a backup or UPS etc.
