[When the engineers tried to bring it up again, they couldn't connect the server to the Internet.] The Engineers at the Internet companies are going to have to get their act together. They need reliable back-up systems NOW! I noticed Sun has been mentioned as a buy, fairly frequently, on Rukeyser's show recently. Cheers, Mephisto PS: What do you put in the folders under the new SI? Also, the new SI dumped all my mail. I can't find it. I suppose it will show up when the old SI runs on Monday. Are you suppose to put your mail in the folders if you want to keep it?

Geez... I can't believe EBAY doesn't have a "hot" backup site. And their "warm" site has just been operational for 2 weeks? Man, you would think they can sell 1,000,000 shares of their stocks and hire enough people to solve this problem. Our company has a warm site here in Seattle, and a "hot" site in Hawaii. Just in case Seattle experienced a Richter scale 9 earth quake, we could fail over to the Hawaii site in about 1-2 minutes. With such a significant high profile, I can't believe EBAY don't have a "hot" site. I advice everyone in here don't buy EBAY stocks. It isn't really SUNW's problem, it's their poor engineering effort that's the problem.
