I've seen one (pdc) alive for +- 2 years. The administrator didn't 
believe me when I sayd the latest issue (a stupid thing I don't remember 
such as no authentication possible anymore) he was facing would 
-probably- be solved by a reboot (My limited nt eperience is: reboot 
twice (at least) watch the screen with 3-4 colleagues (at least) if the 
issue is not solved by these 2 magic keys, spend some time but do not 
spend too much time trying to understand what's happening::it's usually 
a waste of time).

Did he meant neve reboot or never boot. In the 2nd case,I guess most of 
you will agree. The same kind of things applys for infratructures: isn't 
air gap firewalls one of te most secure piece of hardware?
