Has anyone else went to such extremes to keep their clock running?</blockquote><div><br>
Back in the late '90's I moved an entire ISP from the 2nd to the
7th floor like that. A couple 3000KVA ups's mounted on carts, moving
dual power supply systems. The goal was to get the box out of the
racks, onto the cart, have the elevator waiting down the hall, then
we'd yank the ethernet and the second power and run like hell -- trying
to get up 5 floors before bigbrother paged us.<br>

It always seems like the crap hardware runs the longest. I had a
SparStation 5 up for 647 days recently, and my old no-name Cyrix
486DX40 running Slackware and kernel 1.2.13 used to pull two years
fairly regularly. For all I know, it's still in the wiring closet back
at my old college library.<br>
