Your the one that is full of it. Read these EBAY scheduled downtime announcements. As I've argued in the past all machines need downtime for various software and OS related issues. I'm making this point more in reply to Paul's posts regarding RAS A-vailability items. www2.ebay.com * REMINDER! SCHEDULED MAINTENANCE ON FRIDAY MORNING, OCTOBER 22 * The eBay system will be unavailable on Friday morning, October 2, between 00:01 PDT and 06:00 PDT for scheduled maintenance. Please note that this is two hours longer than our usual scheduled maintenance duration. All auctions scheduled to end on Friday, October 22, between 04:01 PDT and 07:00 PDT have already been extended by 24 hours. As announced previously, the purpose of Friday morning?s scheduled maintenance downtimes is to test our ?hot backup? system, which will allow us to recover from most major hardware and software failures in a timeframe ranging from 5 minutes to 1 hour. To learn more about the ?hot backup? and why implementing it requires extended maintenance periods, please see the Technical Update at pages.ebay.com Thank you for your understanding. Regards, eBay
