That's good.  The uptime on this box is only like three days, because I 
had a motherboard die and it hammered eleven disk partitions when it went.  
Then I couldn't find a motherboard I liked until I finally settled for a 
K8N Neo V2.0 after buying, trying, and selling (at a profit) two other 
boards.  Just got the system back together when a big old dirty 
power-failure zapped it again.  Once more repaired, I got the partitions 
repaired, and I'm back together again now.  But I just don't feel like 
powering down to install the new SATA drives that have come my way.
