Austin Leeds asks,
<Anybody else have some unbelievable uptime stories?>
Yeah, maybe! LOL.
My iBook G3/800 had a 286 day uptime until that damn OWC Mercury Elite
Pro hung it up and I had to reboot it.
My G4 867 Quicksilver's highest uptime was 95 days, also wrecked by the
aforementioned OWC Mercury Elite Pro.
my G4 1.5 GHz Mini hasn't had a chance to get those kind of uptimes yet
(its highest thus far was 13 days).
I was getting these uptimes because I'd just put my Macs to sleep when
not using them instead of shutdown/rebooting once a day like I did in OS
9. Weird thing is, the Quicksilver doesn't sleep anymore cause of the
USB cord hanging out of it (so I may go back to bedtime shutdown/wakeup
reboots with that machine) and while getting a router (yay, and a
wireless one too!) HELPED the problem with the Ethernet and DSL modem
not playing nice together, I still find I have to restart the G4s
occasionally to re-establish the Ethernet network, so...looks like I
won't get much in the way of uptimes on the G4s. The iBook's uptime is
now back up a bit - not near where it was, but 62 days now.
