Yes, after 4 mysterious instances of the server seizing up, all without any sign of software problems, but all pretty much happening at times of intense or reasonably busy activity, I decided it was hardware failing, and shutdown web and other intense data services on the server so that more critical low demand services like email could continue. Today it was serviced and I'm told the capacitors on the old motherboard were showing some bubbling damage. I understand now that many motherboards from a few years ago were manufactured with faulty capacitors. Word is that a Chinese firm stole intellectual property from a competing firm on the chemical makeup of materials used in capacitors which they used to produce a great many, but the formula turned out to be incomplete. So many MB's from that timeframe are failing.

This "new" MB is similar in power to the last one, but has twice the RAM. It's not new. I didn't want a new one as I didn't want to take a chance on the OS not liking the architecture, and didn't need a new one anyway. The new one is coming in a month or two and I expect will be much more powerful. Whether you'll notice a difference I'm not sure. The net only runs so fast. But there will be more downtime then when the xfer to the new server takes place.

Sorry for the outage. Thanks for your patience.

Personally I think all of us loudmouths owe you all a thanks. Where else could I hang out, cheap, with so many wonderful grumps, grouses, groaners, and curmudgeons?

Hello again, OI. What "wonderful" category do I fall into -grump, grouse, groaner ( never!), or curmudgeon?

Good to see you back.

Well, far be it from me to be so presumptuous, but it occurs to me that a Grouse has feathers and that somehow seems more feminine. ;-)
