365 I believe has flywheels...from what I'm gathering it wasn't a full building outage. Static switch issues again, anyone? Either way, happy I moved out of there. It was overpriced for when it was working. I hear they had a scheduled power outage for maintenance this coming weekend. I'll give benefit of doubt and assume it was for something else, not that they knew they had an issue and had their fingers crossed[1] On a related note - one of my clients came to within 5 minutes of the DC UPSs running out today before power came back. Generator truck was still en-route, but hey power's back! So they cancel it. *sigh* John 1: ...but not crossed tight enough. On Tue, Jul 24, 2007 at 08:36:59PM -0400, Raymond L. Corbin wrote:
