and what's more fun, when they come back up on jan 3 or whatever, they will have whatever y2k problems then.I recall after the Morris worm hit the Internet, reading a report sites which unplugged their ARPANET connection were down longer than sites which remain connected and got repair information over the net.
discussing this issue with a friend whose less than clueful site admins are taking the whole institution down for the weekend. your explanation that they would just prefer to deal with it monday during 9-5 makes sense. but that means that those of us who feel responsible may have to deal with it for three days while the <bleep>s bring their sites back online one by one. randy
