 well this machine isn't sitting in a chair doing nothing, it's doing
exactly what it's been doing every day for a few years. Serving
spreadsheets and printing purchase orders for our purchasing department.
Not a heavy load but if it went down during the day my phone would be
ringing within 5 minutes.

There was a period of about 15 months where I could see it on the network
but couldn't locate the physical box, one of those..
