Uptime

OK not as long as some of these, but in my first job as helldesk make work we had to call round all of the stores we covered, make sure they were happy etc, check the servers. These were not high quality servers more like a bit better than PC's running SCO, the tills ran DOS. One store though had a server uptime of 9yrs, and the manager of a few years didn't even know they had technical support they had never had to make a call.

Also the comments about Sun kit, a friend worked as one of their repair techs I remember the toolkit he was provided, torque limited tools real precision stuff, those servers must have been built to some tolerances.
