Here's your proof, once again:
ns$ uptime
1:17pm up 1062 day(s), 14:23, 1 user, load average: 2.05, 1.65,
1.85
IP address please[0], there probably were a few remote kernel bugs in
the last 3 years.
Do you really want to make a run at it?

No thanks. Some of us had enough religion, with last week's
Microsoft/Unix fapfest. Yes, it is nice that $unixoid_OS can stay up for 3
years, but uptime alone is mostly only good for d?cksize wars -
Really? I find uptime to be good for a few other things as well,
like keeping customers happy, keeping my job, keeping my cell phone
from ringing at 3AM, etc etc.
and 3
years probably doesn't impress the old VMS hands anyway. ;-)
Being an old VMS hand myself, I think it's only a moderately
impressive uptime, but I myself am not actually impressed at all,
because that's the kind of reliability I demand from my equipment.
Amazingly, I also expect my car to not randomly stall or catch on
fire while I'm driving down the road.
