Sometimes it pays to be an old fart .. who worked in VMS an OS that ran for Years without even a reboot with no viruses etcetra. The biggest problem I ever remember having was Disk drive failures or SCSI cabling problems!!! Oh and the Digital Rep slicing open his leg on a sharp case part and bleeding all over the data center floor (he needed 10 stiches) lol.
