We still had to reboot them every so often, they were supposed to be getting the latest and greatest, I would get a set of files that I had to load into a jump drive, then go in and run an app that would update the OS and other bits and pieces, but we still seemed to need to reboot the machines ever so many weeks or they would lock up.

Today we had a line of supercells go through south of OKC, quite a few tornados, some of which were moving from north to south (not usual) so there are times when the camera needs to be able to point at least +45 above horizon at any point on the pan.
