In the demonstration this morning, they were talking about windows
2000 uptime. First thing I am going to look for under win 2k is an
uptime meter. They boasted they had a test system running for 90+ days
straight. I had to laugh on that one. Hmm, my Linux box at home is at:

  2:12pm up 117 days, 17:54, 3 users, load average: 0.00, 0.00, 0.00
USER TTY FROM LOGIN@ IDLE JCPU PCPU WHAT
brian ttyp0 debian Wed11pm 14:57m 0.25s 0.22s mutt
brian ttyp1 blavender.spk.us 2:10pm 0.00s 0.47s 0.30s mutt
brian ttyp2 blavender.spk.us 1:33pm 2:43 2.50s 2.32s mutt

And here is another one. windows 2000 states that it requires a 133,
but I have read on CNET that they would not run it under anything less
than a 250. Dell is not selling it on anything less than a 400.

But I still want to see what is under the hood. No, no, I take that
back. I want to take it for a test drive. Windows still doesn't let you
muck with it under the hood.

Shall we say the source is with us?

Good thing Luke is on our side.
