OT: Actually I was referring to recent storms. Even though I've always been with the same power company, I've lived in many regions of the province of Ontario over the last 10 years and performance is dramatically different depending where you live: Ottawa: extremely reliable, can go for years without failure Sarnia: despite frequent storms, very reliable. I suppose it's due to the chemical plants in town who all need reliable electricity. North Bay: extended power failure every time there's a storm. Power failures for unexplained reasons as well. Espanola (northern Ontario near Sudbury): power failure every time there's a storm, but not many storms. London: power failure every time there's a storm, and since London is Canada's lightning capital, that's 2-3 times a week in the summer. However the power failures are brief, 1-2 seconds. Makes it hard to maintain impressive uptime on a server though: Uptime 8:18 :-P -- Mark Lanctot ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Mark Lanctot's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2071 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=25891 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
