I agree, once I had constant on Internet and my caring level returned to normal, then the restarts became pretty regular. :-p Ben Johansen - http://www.pcforge.com Authorized Witango Reseller http://www.pcforge.com/WitangoGoodies.htm Authorized MDaemon Mail Server Reseller http://www.pcforge.com/AltN.htm -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Steve Thomas Sent: Wednesday, June 11, 2003 10:33 AM To: Chris Barnes Cc: SpamAssassin Subject: Re: [SAtalk] Really OT: Microsoft buys out RAV On Wed, Jun 11, 2003 at 10:42:56AM -0500, Chris Barnes is rumored to have said: > > So unless you didn't apply any security patches (gasp), I'm sure your 2 > NT servers were not continuously running from 96 to 99. > Speaking of not applying security patches, it seems that even the mighty Microsoft can't keep their machines up-to-date and virus free: http://www.mynetwatchman.com/LIS.asp?Queue=HBRD&PID=2196 If the software publisher that created the O/S can't keep the bugs out, how can they expect the rest of the users of their products to do so?
