Every year in the UK we have either water drought in the summer, snow blocked roads or problems like Tim had, nothing changes. The latest one for me this summer my Sky sat kept going down at around 13:10 until 1500 I phoned sky the lady said the cable from my dish could be getting hot. I hosed it nothing happened its no longer summer if it starts next year I will get a new install with a huge disc. Rita |

Thanks. << I hate those days I can't read the Elevate newsgroups - I might miss some tidbit of knowledge. >> Well, just let me be the big baby and say that not having power, even for a couple of days, *sucks*. -- Tim Young Elevate Software www.elevatesoft.com |

The counts I saw on the news were between 350,000 and 390,000 homes without power. I'll see if I can get some pictures posted of the carnage - there were trees and large portions of trees laying everywhere. Very surreal. -- Tim Young Elevate Software www.elevatesoft.com |

Jon Lloyd Duerdoth | We have so many power outages in cottage country
(north of Toronto) that I broke down and installed a stand-by generator. I usually have enough propane on the island to run intermittently for 2 days. I have to pump the water and the fridge doesn't work to well without power and most important I've got to keep the hi-tech stuff up and running! These power outages make us all realize how dependent we all are on electricity being always available!

We were without power and phone (even cell service) for about a week after Katrina hit. Luckily our town had a guy with a generator and enough fuel to keep the water going so we actually had running water. Most places around didn't even have that. (no hot water, though we really didn't need it as hot was it was.) -- |

Here in Kendal, UK, we had a power cut for 3 hours on Saturday.
Fortunately we just stayed warm in bed and the power came on at 8:55 in time to get up. I was glad it wasn't something I had to do. 8-) I have to ask though, why not put the servers in a data centre which would be less vulnerable to outages? /Matthew Jones/ | |

"J. B. Ferguson" | I feel your pain Tim! I was without power for 3 weeks after Hurricane
Wilma in October 2005. That more than sucked. -- Regards, Jan Ferguson Tim Young [Elevate Software] wrote: > Johnnie, > > Thanks. > > << I hate those days I can't read the Elevate newsgroups - I might > miss some tidbit of knowledge. >> > > Well, just let me be the big baby and say that not having power, even > for a couple of days, sucks.

It's been a freaky last 6 years here - we've had two major outages that lasted more than a few hours. However, prior to that there hadn't been a major outage for over 20+ years. -- Tim Young Elevate Software www.elevatesoft.com |
