Sorry, you lose. I know from experience :-( Customers have left webspan (the ISP I currently work for) because I had troubles with hard drive reliability in the early days and they went elsewhere to get their porn. And they were porn suckers, believe me. ALL the people who phoned to complain about the server being down, when cornered by tech. support, admitted that they were after a.b.p.e, even one who started out saying ``When is the news server gonna be back, my business depends on it!''. He never posted a thing, he just read. Gary -- Gary Palmer FreeBSD Core Team Member FreeBSD: Turning PC's into workstations. See http://www.FreeBSD.ORG/ for info
