Reminds me of when a friend of mine worked in internal IT support for Albertson's. At one of their locations with a gas station across the parking lot from the grocery store, they'd periodically get a lightning strike right in the middle of the lot and it'd fry various pieces of equipment. They had an ethernet cable in (I assume non-metallic) conduit under the parking lot, connecting the gas station to the server in the store. Lightning quit hitting there after the copper wire was swapped for fiber optic. --- This email has been checked for viruses by Avast antivirus software. http://www.avast.com ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ One dashboard for servers and applications across Physical-Virtual-Cloud Widest out-of-the-box monitoring support with 50+ applications Performance metrics, stats and reports that give you Actionable Insights Deep dive visibility with transaction tracing using APM Insight. http://ad.doubleclick.net/ddm/clk/290420510;117567292;y _______________________________________________ Emc-users mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/emc-users
