It's also interesting to note that, at least by some estimates, the brief power outage in L.A. yesterday took down more networks than Hurrucane Katrina: http://www.techweb.com/showArticle.jhtml?articleID=170702966 Of course, So. California is pretty "network-dense", but what does that say about the level of seriousness that network operators place on their "uptime"? - ferg -- Steve Sobol <[email protected]> wrote: [email protected] wrote: > On Mon, 12 Sep 2005 21:21:59 -0000, "Reeves, Rob" said: > >>We've been told by our field tech in LA that One Wilshire had lost power >>for a bit, but it is now restored.

I'm not too close to the story and I don't live in Los Angeles (I live and work 55-65 miles northeast of downtown), but it seems to me that the problem could have been avoided with a little more caution on the part of the person who cut the wires. -- Steve Sobol, Professional Geek 888-480-4638 PGP: 0xE3AE35ED Company website: http://JustThe.net/ Personal blog, resume, portfolio: http://SteveSobol.com/ E: [email protected] Snail: 22674 Motnocab Road, Apple Valley, CA 92307 -- "Fergie", a.k.a.
