That was my thought. I felt like I had either been temporaly displaced to the early '90s or this article had slipped through a worm hole and got dumped on the web by Al Gore.
Although, in the early '90s no one was paying bills online via the web.
-Tux 'casue the early '90s was when I was introduced to Unix and then found Linux. Thank you Linus!

I don't see a contradiciton between the CS flacky and IT guy's explanations -- I would suppose someone ran a wrong command doing DB work, which knocked it off for a few days. (For a production database, they should have had backups, or the ability to roll back any database changes, or both.. but *shrug*).
