I'm not even gonna go there...

Uptime: 209 days, 15:17.

(Flipping other monitor on,  checking that one)

Uptime 132 days, 3:27.

That'll change fairly soon,  though -- I have to shut down that second box
one of these days,  stick another HD in there (I just got done testing a
10G drive somebody sent me),  put a SCSI card in there to support the
scanner,  and pull the sound card out,  putting it in the first box.  And
editing the necessary control files,  too.

Those times would be a lot longer than that if I weren't fiddling with the
hardware from time to time,  and if I had a decent UPS that would support
these machines when the thunderstorms roll through here in the spring and
summer.  Working on it...   :-)
