   (...) Like I said before, I want my money back! Lessee.. take the total time I hope this site is up and in existance, divide by the outage, and multiply by my donation to get the amount I want back..

     (...) Actually I'm sure I won't be the first to point out that 100 years/6 hours = a very BIG number. Not allowing for leap years I make it 146 000. Perhaps you mean the other way round? <g> Simon (URL) (25 years ago, 6-Dec-99, to lugnet.admin.general)

      (...) You actually were the first... so yes, and no. Because while it appears that might have been what I wrote, clearly, it can't actually be, because that would be a misteak. And I don't make those. Ask anyone. So it was that pesky old reality (...) (25 years ago, 7-Dec-99, to lugnet.admin.general, lugnet.off-topic.fun)

     (...) And that's before multiplying it by his membership fee (minumum $10).. $1,460,000 I submit that Larry didn't manage to finance his Lego collection by making simple misteaks! Richard (25 years ago, 7-Dec-99, to lugnet.off-topic.fun)

     (...) Right. So who's got a 1 lire note Todd can use? (that's actually a little less... consulting: (URL) turns out to be about 17 lira, or 123 Vietnamese Dong, or (here's big money!) 1726 !! Angolan New Kwanzaas (pity the OLD kwanzaa...) Those were (...) (25 years ago, 7-Dec-99, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)

   (...) Todd, can you tell me how much notice Pair gave you for the outtage and if you know if they sent word out to all their customers? I was always pleased with Pair when I used them and I see a fairly major website claiming that Pair just "up and (...) (25 years ago, 7-Dec-99, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)
   
        Re: Scheduled downtime: Monday, December 6, 1999 —Eric Kingsley
     (...) The NELUG site is also on Pair and they did give notice that there would be an outage. It was also not down for 12 hours. I am happy with their service and them having to move to a larger data center can only be a good thing because it means (...) (25 years ago, 7-Dec-99, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)
    
         Re: Scheduled downtime: Monday, December 6, 1999 —Larry Pieniazek
     Well they still have issues. Right now, over a network, access to Lugnet is slower than it usually is for me when I am over dialup. Very unscientific but I have to get back to class now... Last time I did a trace/routed it didn't help shed any light (...) (25 years ago, 7-Dec-99, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)

     (...) Don't you just love the semaphore system? It was ahead of it's time.. 20 years before the invention of the telegraph, they set up entire lines of semaphore stations. I've seen a minor one in France, part of the Paris-Lyon line. Tres cool. I'd (...) (25 years ago, 7-Dec-99, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)

I remember hearing about it around Thanksgiving intially, I think -- but I actually think it was even noted on their website a month or two earlier, before I really started paying close attention to the date.
