Got to love the spin... "The servers are timed to shut down after 49.7 days of use in order to prevent a data overload, a union official told the LA Times." That would be 49.710269618055555555555555555556 days, or (curiously enough) 4294967295 (0xFFFFFFFF) milliseconds. Known problem with Win95 ('cept they call Win95 a "server"). -- Roy M.
