Dang... I better go turn my alarm clock off so I can save it for a day
when I really need to get up in the morning.
Or maybe I better go tell the local RBOC switch guys that they can't
provide 911 service through a busy #5ESS... all those electrons flowing
from the normal phone calls might wear it out!
Or maybe I should tell the police and fire dispatchers to "save" their
repeaters for a really bad day?
LOL... I hope you were joking, because that was a really funny
statement. If it wasn't intended as a joke, it was supremely ignorant
of how electronics work... design the thing for 100% duty cycle and
forget about how much traffic it gets, designed right -- it doesn't
matter in the slightest how much activity it gets.
