Only thing is, I access my bank pretty much daily. To use that would
require a reboot and booting from USB/DVD etc. I rarely reboot.
Generally, I reboot when I lose power and have to shutdown. So far, I
haven't rebooted in 182 days. In a little over a week, I'll have a new
record. Well, documented record for this rig anyway.

On my old rig, it had a record of 242 days. Hurricane Katrina ruined
that. Lost power for a couple days here. So, while a good idea, just
not likely here.
