  Yup, and to make matters worse for me, I've got a Netwinder, (remember:
Corel Computers -> Hardware Canada Computing -> Rebel.com -> bankruptcy),
that hasn't been rebooted in 542 days.  Of course, it looks like 45 days
because of the 497 day wraparound bug in the Linux kernel.
  What makes it worse is that it's StrongArm based which means it's very
low power.  You could almost run it on a nine-volt battery.  I once lost
power for four hours and never had to shut the system down.  I keep
thinking that the only thing that's going to kill the thing is if (when?)
one of my cats knocks it over.
