Were I used to work we had a Novell 4.1 server that had been up for five
plus years. I was the one who drew the short straw when in needed to be
moved.
Despite everyone's fears, it did come back up no problem. I miss Novell.

"obsolete" four year old systems?
Surely it will be less than 4 years before Apple declares the current
models "obsolete", and the 13,000 iPads need to be replaced.
Smart people get the amazing uptime. Sheep, and people who work in
companies whose purchasing agents who get kickbacks from salesmen...they
