: Do you have any clue about what "workgroup server" means?
: Hint: it's something a MacOS box can't even dream of.

Dan, I know you're not an idiot - I was impressed with some of what you 
said in the portable C thread - but you are a very poor looser.  Do you 
have any clue what you're arguing about?  It certainly doesn't seem like 
it - you ask for an example of a comparable up-time on a non-idle MacOS 
box and were given one.  You loose.  Face it and go on to something new 
(but please start a new thread when you do so).
